Dan Kennedy talks about young people and news with several pundits. Their observations:
* Tom Patterson of Harvard's Kennedy School of Government: "As they age, they'll probably consume a bit more news, but it's not going to get up there to the level of older people today."
* Judy Woodruff: "Much of the news young people see is not presented in a way that's relevant to them. ...We need to find out what they're interested in and address the news to them."
* David Kravitz of Blue Mass. Group: "Younger people are just more accustomed to interacting with the world through a medium like the Internet than through a medium like radio [or TV or newspapers], which is more like other people talking to you. To the extent that blogs are able to bring in a somewhat younger demographic than 'The CBS Evening News', maybe that's why, because it does become a conversation."
