A common lament is that younger people don’t follow the news any more. Is this a valid observation? The ANES asks respondents how many times a week they review news on the Internet, read a physical newspaper, listen to the news on the radio, and watch the news on television. Using these four variables as dependent variables, regress age onto each of them (i.e., use age as your independent variable; be sure to use the recoded age variable that uses age in years). Write up your results, describing the effect of age on each of these news-getting behaviors. In your explanation, contrast a 20-year-old to an 80-year-old.
