My first reply - been lurking on this list for a long time.  

Thanks for providing a way for those of us on the front line to keep the old
grey matter working long after we've left the hallowed halls of the
learning. 

I need to reply to this idea re Youth and News Mr Ramsay is so right. 

Youth read the on-line news if any youth at all, indeed I'm hardly a youth
but I cannot recall the last time I bought a paper - only time I'll look at
it is if I find myself in a restaurant alone. I get all my newsfeeds on
line. 

Youth do watch TV - sometimes but that too is in decline and what TV they
watch may be watched on line.  You'd have to get on a "news" show like
George Sotiropoulos, my daugher hates to miss him.  Or convice Rick Mercer
to do a rant about how our government doesn't get it when it comes to the
connection between our lot in life and our health.

Are you serious when saying youth are,

"TOO BUSY TEXTING TO READ THE NEWSPAPERS OR SWITCH ON THE CBC NEWS ON THE
HOUR?"

I've herd this before... in the 80s! "dang youth and their rotary
telephones, always talking.."

in the 70s, "dang youth and their 8 track players"

in the 60s, "dang youth and their vinyl records"

in the 50s, "dang youth and their Morse code, always bleep-bleeep
bleeping..."

And Newspapers? Seriously? Newspapers as a medium and business model has
been in constant decline for the last decade... It's glorious era has
passed... And CBC News caters as much to youth as Much Music caters to baby
boomers.
