Is Consuming News Changing?

News isn’t news anymore. It’s more like updates.

I used to deliver newspapers with my brother early… early in the morning. I hated but I loved it. Dogs chasing me, odd tips given in weird ways… that’s for another day.

How are people consuming news these days?

  • Newspaper? Only if I’m stuck with nothing to read on the treadmill at the gym.
  • RSS? Nah. That’s too much work. Besides my Google Reader would just have this massive unread number that would drive me nuts.
  • Mobile? Not there yet. In some ways we are close but not totally their yet.
  • Social media? Yup.

Want to know where I get my news? Twitter.

I do a search for a keyword inside Twitter search and I get everything I want to know. Besides… I don’t really care to know what it going on with Lindsay Lohan so at least I get to be selective with my news this way. Try it. How else could you get news that is happening right on the spot and hot. People are talking about it so it must be interesting. That’s where news is changing too and I’m ok with it.
