>:( I bet he gets an amazing job now.

"Mr Robson had little comfort for struggling print publishers, saying no teenager he knew regularly reads a newspaper since most “cannot be bothered to read pages and pages of text” rather than see summaries online or on television." - NO SHIT

"His peers find it hard to make time for regular television, and would rather listen to advert-free music on websites such as Last.fm than tune into traditional radio. Even online, teens find advertising “extremely annoying and pointless”. - NO SHIT

"Their time and money is spent instead on cinema, concerts and video game consoles" - IS THAT REALLY SO HARD TO BELIEVE?!

Jealous.
