Millennials often use social media to get news, but they don't want to pay.

I don't have much of an interest subscribing to a local newspaper. Local news really isn't that interesting, as it's mostly sensationalized crime stories. I do enjoy some of the newsletters from groups that I'm a dues paying member for -- like the NY Conservation Council's newsletter.

That said, I get most of my news from social media sites, which mostly link to press releases and studies by interest groups. I read both liberal and conservative blogs and interest group news websites, to learn the pros and cons of issues. I don't need a reporter filtering the story.
