Young adults suffering from news fatigue, study says
#4
I saw that this morning and wasn't impressed by the numbers used in their analysis, either. Even a sample size of 108 (18 people in each of six metropolitan areas) over such a wide area of the world isn't adequate to get reliable results. I also question whether the young adults are truly "news fatigued," or whether they're just too impatient to take the time to read anything in depth. Judging by the way they've become accustomed to receiving short bursts of information, their brains may not be geared toward focusing on anything for more than just a few seconds. I'm being cynical again, huh?
