Finding out how people want their news

It's a fast paced world and everyone's juggling more than they can handle. This is a major reason why newspapers have taken to the back burner. While on the run, there are mobile apps and websites that inform people for free. But what type of reporting do people like best? Would it be beneficial to actually walk around campus, interview students and faculty and find out how they would like to most conveniently get their news? It could be really telling and maybe on campus publications, like TNH or Main Street could get themselves more readers. It seems simple, but if we want journalism and news to become an important part of people's lives again, maybe we should just ask them how to do it. If thousands of people on campus and in surrounding communities are too busy to pay attention, journalists should get creative and find an efficient way into jam packed schedules. Do news gatherers like photos? Are they more likely to read shorter news clips or do they enjoy long form narratives that set the scene and give more detail? You never know if you don't ask, right?
