While social media use is on the rise, we believe this means that consumers are only becoming better content creators themselves. We predict over the next five years, that content created by young adults will continue to be noticed and picked up by media organizations.

With this in mind, we realize how important it is to use our young generations as part of the news aggregation and creation process. Understanding their desires, needs, and habits will help establish a better news cycle.

Taking the BuzzFeed course through Newhouse has been a privilege. We want other college students to be able to have this experience and remain an essential part of the content creation processes. This is why we suggest creating a BuzzFeed College Channel. For more information, please see below.
