I completely agree with your assessment of how we consume news. I often ask my Dad "why would you watch that negative, skewed... yada yada". His generation felt obligated to consume news content in order to be informed, stay safe, etc. The digital distribution of news, from a single tweet to round the clock coverage on CNN can now truly reach us through osmosis. The news we NEED to know about, that could likely impact us at a local or personal level, will get to us on our mobile devices. Better still, it often arrives packed with the endorsement of a friend. Whereas my Dad may call this "overload", I look at it as liberating. No longer do I need to do the sifting when my network of friends around the world are doing it for one another. Exciting times. Thanks for the article. Kris Hello Kim! I completely agree with your assessment of how we consume news. I often ask my Dad “why would you watch that negative, skewed… yada yada”.

Thanks for the article.
