Young adults suffer from news fatigue
A MEDIA OUTFIT claims that young adults are swamped with too many facts and figures these days and are suffering from something it calls 'news fatigue'.
Context-Based Research Group had a look under the bonnet of youngster's brains and came to the conclusion that they were a seething mass of facts and updates.
As a result the average young adult brain has trouble accessing in-depth stories in their daily news diet.
The research project, commissioned by Associated Press in 2007, showed how news is being consumed in the digital space by young people.
Apparently the kids of today want quality and in-depth reporting but had difficulty accessing it because they were bombarded by facts and updates in headlines and snippets of news.
Punters can't to give full attention to the news because they were almost always simultaneously engaged in other activities, such as reading e-mail.
News outfits need to develop easier ways for readers to discover in-depth content and to avoid repetitious updates of breaking news. µ

Take up watching fox news.. hardly any on there!
I'm already knackered with carpal tunnel finger (eh?) from all the Inquirer hacks tip up the kelter. 'Scouse me, ducks, it's lunchtime, and I specs I missed the last short bus.

So could this story be paraphrased as "Media outfit claims that media outfits have made media worthless?
WHAT??? Facts in news? And too much of them?? Where the hell was that study done?
Oh wait I get it, it's sarcasm, nicely done, had me going a sec there :D
I dont get it, so when you get older you dont get as bombarded? Or are they saying you get better at handling it?

Sound like BS to me
Lets Face it. News is Propaganda & Often Highly Exagerated! 
Youth Read that Stuff & Think, Oh, My God- We Must Do Something. if you play Latter Day Saint Audio book Backwards, it Has Word Marihuana In It. In Every ONE.

So of Course Entire world Must Know, It could BE Extreme violation, With Letter M.

As Time Passes, Things Remain Pretty Much Same. People Become More Amused than Alarmed. Subjugating Extreme Fear into New Nuro Pathways, So Fear Popper Can Concentrate on Ultie.

By Suckering Ultie with Vital Facts, Ultie then Leaves Trail of WorldWide Ultie POOPS, like ib.M or olympiad of home Discourse, Actually making Server About 3X More Monies, than Just Plain Dumb Reader. So Good.
What They Say,Again?

Ins't this a perfect description of The Inquirer?

Seriously, I've also decided to go on a "media diet". Tossed out all of the overcrowded "IT news" sites of my the bookmarks. A friend of mine also agreed that you can't read sites like heise (german IT News site) anymore, since it's just too much information.

And the funny thing is: If you take a look at the "big picture" computer science (as a science) evolves very slowly. Most of the news are just: CPUs are getting faster, HDDs bigger, NVidia announces an announcement about their latest graphics card, Microsoft complains about companies, companies complain about Microsoft and so on...
