Global TV news anchor Kevin Newman, who announced he is quitting, explianed his decision in an interview with the Financial Post."I'd look at the demographic from the newscast and realize that almost no young people were watching national news, and that's been a problem for a decade.

The desire to know about national news is there, but are they willing to sit down at 5:30 to watch it? Not so much. So, I began to realize that the digital divide, the generation gap for how people are consuming news, is big and growing," he said.
