NEWS
 A. MILLENNIALS and NEWS

What is News?
News is the information available to its audience about the
current events that happening locally or globally. Common
topics used and discussed for news are reports include
government, politics, weather, catastrophes, economy,
education, health, entertainment, fashion, athletic events and
so on. It may be provided through different platforms
depending from each kind of generation.0
 The Difference between Baby Boomers
and Gen Xers to the Millennials
Baby Boomers are people who were born from 1946-
1964 (54-72 years old), while Gen Xers are the ones who
were born from 1965-1980 (38-53 years old). There is a
huge difference on how news was received by the people
from the old times and now.
When the old generation think about the news, they think
of the old ways of how they come to be updated with the
news. It may be through the radio, the newspaper, and
the good old-fashioned televisions; but with the
innovations of today's generation, millennials now have
different ways to consume and get updated with the
news.
 How Do We Know What We Think We Know?

Though knowledge is on the grasp of users through the

internet, people still are having a hard time getting
access to it leaving many of them lacking. How do we
know what we think we know? This is an epistemological
question that has been continually debated and
explained. A man explained that two sources of
knowledge can exist.
 How Millennials get up-to-date?
A quick look into this millennial generation explains to us how they
can easily get up-to-date with the news. This millennial generation
does not rely on the newspapers or the television just like the Baby
Boomers and some Gen Xers do. They get their news through social
media networks like Facebook, Twitter and such. A study suggests
that about sixty-one percent (61%) of millennials get up-to- date
with their political news by using Facebook. Most millennials spend
about 27 hours a week online, says Nielsen who conducted a study
in the third quarter of 2016.
 Two Kinds of Knowledge:

Expert Knowledge - acquired by those who study and read scientific papers,
conducted and examined findings from studies, and those who earned their
advanced degrees. They are people who are called in for advice on their
respective subject of study.
 The internet can be a helpful tool to its users but it can also lead to
misinformation. Users must not forget that there are designated experts
in each field that had allotted time and expert to gain reliable knowledge
on their subject of study. An example of this is someone who would
search the symptoms that they are suffering from in the internet instead
of going to the doctor and get check up. This may lead to misdiagnose
and overthinking. Users must remember that not everything you see in
the internet is true and that we need to consult experts for their
opinions.
