So, one study of the teens done Conducted for the NAA by Northwestern University's Media Management Center. The findings are interesting and very intuitive. Its not that the teens do not want news. They do. But some interesting things have emerged: First and foremost, FREE is good! Teens think News should be a free commodity. They seem to prefer news from aggregating sites - like Yahoo, AOL, Google etc They do not like clutter. They like pictures, but not at the cost of news. Pictures should be there but as illustrations Basically the site should provide \"an adequate sense of the news\" on its own\". Ok, if the teens like the aggregating sites for news then what are the basic requirements? The site should help them become interested in news by focusing their attention on a few items, illustrated with photos, explaining that is going on and why it matters. The home page should provide a general sense of the news and a seductive pitch for each story in as simple and visually enticing a manner as possible. Story-level pages should richly supplement the news with basic information, background material and other insights, all displayed in manageable chunks with multiple entry points and plenty of visuals."}
