Poll: Only 16% of Young Adults Read Papers Daily

Item: Young adults have little interest in news: Just 16% surveyed, age 18-30, say they read paper every day/New York Times

More Info: What we found is that what people mean when they say they are engaged in the news has much more of a glancing, superficial basis than anything we would have hoped,” he said. “Young people seemed to think that just listening to the radio in the background was listening to the news.”

Question: Is this a cause for concern?
