How is this for a study! 

 Research out of Sweden suggests young adults (ages 18 to 34) are becoming exhausted by the bombardment of facts and updates from the media.  The study was commissioned by the Associated Press and suggest  young readers are suffering from news fatigue!  The researchers concluded that participants were eager to read in-depth, quality reporting.  But a deluge of snippest of news in headline format gets in the way.  

I would write more but I need more details.  Video at 11 !!!

I do enjoy stories that go indepth with details as opposed to those that just say, "2 killed in car wreck on hwy 60"

Who, What, When, How, Why?
That's what I wanna know. A little detail is never a bad thing.

Especially when it's intriguing like the wierdo guy that kept his daughter in the basement for 20 some odd years.

I will listen to anything that don't mention Brittany Spears or politics. Who cares if Brittany is on suicide watch and that the Rep and Dems hate each other.

As I write this bio, I realize just how fast time flies. I've been working at WTVT Channel 13 for almost 20 years. I started on the morning show with Ernie Lee, when it was called "Breakfast Beat." During these years I've worked the medical beat and weekend mornings. I come from the Midwest. I was born and raised in Decatur, Illinois, once the soybean capitol of the world! College took me to the big city of Chicago. I "played in Peoria" at a TV station there before settling in Tampa. It's been a great adventure, and I can't wait for the NEXT 20!!!!!
