Slow growth at Google News
This article appeared in today’s New York Times. Given the importance of online news aggregators in the minds of many young readers (particularly in the U.S.), it’s important to note that one of the big players in the field isn’t the smashing success it’s feared to be.

ABOUT YOUTH MEDIA DNA
Youth Media DNA is a global, multi-phase research project designed to gain a deep understanding of the attitudes and behaviours of young people towards media consumption, news, and newspaper reading.

It is being conducted by DECODE, a company that combines research, strategy and consulting on issues related to youth, young adults and young families.
