STUDY: Young People Love News But Won't Pay for It

After so many research studies, you may think we’ve all finally figured out the Millennial generation.

Not quite.

A new paper released by The Media Insight Project, a collaborative project involving the American Press Institute and the Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research, doesn’t provide much in the way of good news to those who write things for a living…or those who work with them.

In short, Millennials love the news. They just don’t want to pay for it.

So they very much want to keep up with current events; 40 percent check various outlets “several times a day.”
