The under 35 crowd: newspapers & media

Newspapers are really changing their tune to what they offer to attract readers under 35. The AP has an article (link through ABC News) about how some newspapers, suffering from average readership age being in the 50s, have begun to add manga to their comics line up in order to attract younger readers.

Also the Associated Press has launched a new news service called ASAP that caters to the under 35 crowd. Hopefully it won’t pander to them. With the Daily Show being the sole 1500 lb Gorilla and Al Gore’s network’s Current TV relatively paltry offerings (sorry Mat and Al), we’ll see if this really turns out to be a worthwhile media source.
