Where we get our news
From PewInternet.org:
In the digital era, news has become omnipresent. Americans access it in multiple formats on multiple platforms on myriad devices. The days of loyalty to a particular news organization on a particular piece of technology in a particular form are gone. The overwhelming majority of Americans (92%) use multiple platforms to get news on a typical day, including national TV, local TV, the internet, local newspapers, radio, and national newspapers. Some 46% of Americans say they get news from four to six media platforms on a typical day. Just 7% get their news from a single media platform on a typical day.

I do a morning show in a small-medium market and we have cut our news back to the top 3 headlines of the day and 1 big entertainment story….news/sports/weather is all done in about 75 seconds. I can see a time when we do none at all and incorporate topical newsish items into our regular conversations.
