	John Hamilton of Louisiana State University raised what he called a troubling underlying question. "You could argue that our interest in media literacy is driven by our lack of economic viability" for what MSM has been doing. Many sources are free. "We can teach them to be very media literate and discriminating and that is a very worthwhile thing to do but ... who is going to provide original reporting and how are we going to find an economic way to sustain that?" is it going to come from multiple journalists. "Literate for what?" If there isn't quality news out there. "We might be teaching people to be literate about a model that isn't viable anymore."

	Renee Hobbs, the Temple researcher, took off on that point. She noted that Yale legal scholar Yochai Benkler, in his book, ''The Wealth of Networks,'' chronicles a shift from market-bsaed information sharing to non-market based information sharing. "It comes from people who are partisan, who are stakeholders." To be media literate, she says, means understanding how economic contexts shape the production and reception of informational messages.

"Reliable, high quality news and information now comes from people who are partisan, who are stakeholders." Data about perceptions of credibility show that people feel increasingly distrustful of market-based journalism. To be media literate, she says, means understanding how changing economic contexts shape both the the production and reception of informational messages.

	Tom Bettag, Discovery Channel research found that Millennials are turned off to news-reading and hype behind a desk, but are very open to sober discussion of the issues of the day. Discovery discovered this when asking focus groups how they should use former ABC Nightline news anchor Ted Koppel.

			Jack MacKenzie said newspapers need to think about how they can be relevant to Millennial readers. "Credibility is not how you should market your product. It doesn't have resonance. If you're trying to sell newspapers, I don't think that is the way to do it . . . I don't think it is believable. I don't think you can make a sale on that point and make a sale to any generation."

	Schneider calls this finding disturbing: "What we are talking about is a generation that accepts information that other people accept . . . If this is the mindset of this generation then it seems to me we have a very big job to do to make them understand if they are going to survive the information age and make good decisions, they are going to have to apply other skills."

			MacKenzie closes: "The idea that consumers are seeking out other opinions shouldn't offend us. It's good."

			==Some tentative conclusions==

			Rex Smith, editor of ''The Albany'' [N.Y.] ''Times Union'' next asks the group to reach some tentative conclusions based on what they've heard so far.
