Pew Research Nuggets #4 - Why Internet News Rocks

On the information superhighway, I simply get to go where I want faster and when I get there, I like the expansiveness of the experience much better.

I will say the one downside of the Internet is in its treatment of long form articles.

When ad clutter breaks up the content of an interesting feature or lengthy articles, I find it painful to keep my attention to the end.

Perhaps this is the reason why newspapers
and pulp and paper books still exist - they force us to pay attention to what's there, whereas the Internet keeps shouting to us "click here, move on, scroll ahead, message your peeps...etc."
