  29. Implication 3: Paradoxes abound (1) • More material – but less time with news • More direct access to experts and more knowledge being generated – but not smarter at the societal level • More voices and more variety – but more traffic to big brands • More participation and engagement – but less revenue

  30. Implication 3 – Paradoxes abound (2) • More transparency of news creation process – but less trust of coverage • More chance to customize, but less loyalty • People say it is easier to keep up AND harder to navigate the clutter • People are satisfied with MSM coverage of the issues that matter to them AND see more bias in coverage

  31. Implication 4 Much news is a commodity and consumers displaying a classic response: They don’t want to pay for something that is abundant
