WE ARE LESS INFORMED NOW THAN 18 YEARS AGO: According to a report from the Pew Research Center.

Basically, you can’t make people get interested in the news if they’re not interested. And if Hollywood gossip is all they care about, that’s all the news they’ll seek out. Twas always thus. Now it’s just easier to find the news you want and avoid the rest. For those who are interested in hard news, world affairs and that sort of thing, it’s information overload.

Exit question: Does this mean that hard news blogging is a waste of time, or that there’s a huge audience out there just waiting to be found?

What implications would this have for JBloggers when it comes to Israel--are we only going to be preaching blogging to the choir? Is there an audience out there that we have not reached yet?
