Screen size matters when it comes to consuming news
People who watch news on their phone are less attentive than those who watch on TV/laptop. These are the results of a new study involving researchers at the University of Michigan and Texas A&M University.
The findings are important because between 2013 and 2016, the estimated number of Americans who received news from mobile sources jumped from 53 to 72%. The authors of this study say that their likely lack of attentiveness "may be problematic for political engagement"
