News: Zogby International took a survey of 1,203 adults. By a 2-1 margin, adults said they still preferred the news on TV over a “citizen” video of an event. But 83% said they believed 12 year olds know more about the Internet than members of Congress. 66% said the printing press was a more important invention than the Internet. (More here)
Analysis: Fascinating numbers. But Zogby apparently failed to ask the $64,000 question: how many adults prefer YouTube over TV for entertainment. That’s a more important question, in my view, than the news-related question Zogby asked. (Who in their right mind would think that YouTube today is an adequate substitute for news media?)
