A September study (http://www.online-publishers.org/pdf/opa_generational_study_sep04.pdf) (.pdf) by the Online Publishers Association found that 18- to 34-year-olds are far more apt to log on to the internet (46%) than watch TV (35%), read a book (7%), turn on a radio (3%), read a newspaper (also 3%) or flip through a magazine (less than 1%).

And when young people go online, they tend to browse for news in much the same way they window-shop for jeans or sneakers: sampling a headline here, a blog entry there, a snippet of a story there, until their news cravings are satisfied.

Adam L. Penenberg, assistant professor at NYU, wrote an interesting article (http://www.wired.com/news/culture/0,1284,65813,00.html?tw=wn_tophead_3) about this latest phenomena at Wired News.

Looks like RSS feeds, connected PDAs, and Blogs are going to make the news of the future.
