I'm 27 and I suppose that means I'm on the line between the Y Generation and the X Generation, but it's true that I am absolutely immune to traditional advertising. I fast forward through commercials, don't listen to radio, rarely read magazines and ignore ads when I do, and don't think I've ever clicked on an online banner ad. The Obama Campaign tapped into the Millennial/Y Generation, though, and in turn they def helped push him over the edge. If you’re marketing to that age range then there are ABSOLUTELY some lessons to be learned from his campaign... http://www.thedailyanchor.com/2009/01/19/marketing-to-millennials-a-lesson-learned-from-barack-obama/ Andrew's last blog post..Marketing to Millennials: A Lesson Learned from the Obama Campaign

Unfortunately I have no time to read news in newspaper or watching news on TV. I get all news from Internet in work pauses or from my mobile phone. In my country internet news is more objective then TV or newspaper’s news. It sad…

I am 22. Does this make me a youngster? I think news is the only thing I still watch on TV. The reason why I don't read blogs is because quite frankly I simply don't trust the source of information half the time. seo guy's last blog post..Should I experiment with online money lending?

This article is so right…The older generation prefer to enjoy their newspaper in the coffee times. No matter it takes almost 24 hours to read the news.

Interesting indeed! Your comment regarding them not reading blogs is spot on in my opinion, however the
ADD generation seems to need constant visual stimulus to keep them enthralled.

I’m not yet 20 and I get all the news off the internet. I don’t spend much time watching TV as online I am able to get everything I want on demand. There is no set time for the news as it is constantly updating all day.

This is probably not a good thing though as althought I’ll hear the news story quicker I’ll waste more time checking back to the site for more news!

I also read blogs like this regularly. I really don’t miss the TV!

I spend all day and too many evenings on the internet but I certainly get all of my news here. My preference is to settle down away from everything and read a newspaper.

Then again, I am not in my 30′s any more.

As someone in that group, I agree. It's not so much that I want more political news or economic news or whatever, I want more depth in current events. With the millions of bloggers out there, it's amazing how "close" you can get to current events as they unfold because people who are geographically close are writing about them. jim's last blog post..Usefulness & Utility Trump Asset Value

Interesting stuff. I wonder how many of them really want more depth, and how many of them really mean, “we want more news that shares our bias.”
