Probably so. Lots of young adults don’t care about news at all. I think that is why the computer and Netflix stuff is so popular. No one wants to be exposed to anything unpleasant or bothersome. I imagine it will eventually just be movies and sports. For those that do want news, it will just end up being what they want to hear and agree with.

Back to the Future....that's how it used to be with newspapers, people generally subscribed to the paper that espoused their political viewpoints, maybe moreso in Europe than here in the US.

People don’t care about TV news because they already know what’s happened thanks to the internet. I give my MIL crap whenever she’s in town because she insists on watching the evening news, I tell her everything that they’re going to cover and 3 big stories that happened that they won’t touch. TV and print news are too slow for a world where most folks are connected to the internet most of the time.
