  • Overview

Recommendation

Digitization has drastically altered the way people access and consume the news. Brookings Institution researchers Elaine C. Karmack and Ashley Gabriele have compiled an insightful list of the “top seven trends in old and new media.” While many people are already aware of the trends, getAbstract finds that the authors’ collected data and thought-provoking questions make this listicle worth the read for digital content providers, newspaper shareholders, journalists and millennials interested in the evolution of news coverage.

Take-Aways

  • The digitization of news has resulted in a significant loss of ad and subscription revenue, newspapers, news reporters and “hard” news.
  • Television and radio news usage has remained steady. One of the more significant changes is the decreased viewing of “neutral” evening newscasts and an increase in openly partisan news networks.
  • Consumers, millennials in particular, must sift through objective and subjective information, since they obtain a large portion of their news through social media and TV comedy news shows.
