I'm Gen-X, so don't consider myself a "younger" viewer. In my own ADD working style, I get the news in all methods: newspaper, TV, headline screens in elevators and subway stations, email pushed out from local news stations, radio (via the web), blogs/RSS feeds. What I truly value is a source with very local news that tells me what is happening with that smoke I see pouring out of a building a few blocks over, as well as a source that gives me in-depth coverage of international news without obsessing over it to the exclusion of all other stories a la CNN.
