The kids are alright, part 2: What news organizations can do to attract, and keep, young consumers » Nieman Journalism Lab
Several studies have highlighted the fact that many young people feel overwhelmed by the deluge of information presented on news sites. (My two favorite pieces on this are both from the Media Management Center, found here and here here [pdf].)
This sentiment is understandable: On one day I counted, the New York Times’ homepage offered 28 stories across four columns above the scroll cutoff and another 95 below it — for a total of 123 stories, along with 66 navigation links on the lefthand bar. CNN.com also had 28 stories on top and 127 total, along with 15 navigation links. Imagine a newspaper with that many choices.
The point is that news sites need to be designed to help users manage and restrict the wealth of information, rather than presenting them with all of it at once. People can and are doing the work of “curation” on their own, of course, through iGoogle, Twitter, RSS, and social networks both online and off — but those efforts leave behind the vast majority of news outlets. | source : www.niemanlab.org

The kids are alright: How news organizations can tap the vast potential of younger consumers » Nieman Journalism Lab
Perhaps it’s youthful naivete, but I’m fairly certain there are a few steps between reading the news on a mobile phone and the inability of a people to govern themselves. And this isn’t the first time a generation of young people has been accused of marching the world toward languid doom. The question that matters is this: What will replace the morning newspaper as the news habit of the first generation of Americans to grow up immersed in a digital culture? I recently finished a year of research and review in an attempt to find some answers to this question. | source : www.niemanlab.org

The Web Is Dead. Long Live the Internet | Magazine
Two decades after its birth, the World Wide Web is in decline, as simpler, sleeker services — think apps — are less about the searching and more about the getting. Chris Anderson explains how this new paradigm reflects the inevitable course of capitalism. And Michael Wolff explains why the new breed of media titan is forsaking the Web for more promising (and profitable) pastures. | source : www.wired.com

Quand les internautes dictent l'actualité
'est un vieux fantasme de la presse et de l'édition : savoir précisément ce que le public a envie de lire à un moment donné. Pour vendre plus et attirer davantage les publicitaires. Il y avait bien jusqu'à présent l'examen a posteriori des ventes, les enquêtes de lectorat, le "flair". Mais ces coups de sonde ne permettaient qu'une analyse grossière. | source : www.lemonde.fr

New Media, Old Media - Pew Research Center
Each social media platform also seems to have its own personality and function. In the year studied, bloggers gravitated toward stories that elicited emotion, concerned individual or group rights or triggered ideological passion. Often these were stories that people could personalize and then share in the social forum -- at times in highly partisan language. And unlike in some other types of media, the partisanship here does not lean strongly to one side or the other. Even on stories like the Tea Party protests, Sarah Palin and public support for Obama both conservative and liberal voices come through strongly. | source : pewresearch.org
