Ronals A.Yaros aricle looks at john Palfreys book, “Born Digital: Understanding the First Generation of Digital Natives’ and applies his concept of “grazing digital natives.” This concept addresses those students as “digital natives” miss most of the news reading only the Headling or maybe a paragraph. The article blames this on technology, which is used for “education, information, education and social networking.” The underlying feeling is that news needs to change to fit in. Example consists of blogging as the likes of Myspae are so popular. Journalists also need to find content that will appeal to these individuals. The problems that the article sees are “the overload of facts and updates. The article sees personalization as the key to gaining interest.
