IN THE NEWS

Millennials are more likely to stay informed about political news through Facebook than via local television, according to a new study from the Pew Research Center. “Millennials and Political News” reports that 61 percent of Millennials get political news on Facebook – about the same percentage of Boomers who opt for TV. The data suggests that “younger and older generations espouse fundamental differences in the ways they stay informed about political news,” says the study, “differences that are of particular interest as the 2016 election campaigns ramp up.”

Monday was a big day for Caitlyn (formerly Bruce) Jenner. Vanity Fair posted its July issue cover pic, the first of Jenner as a transgender woman, and ESPN announced Jenner will receive the Arthur Ashe Courage Award at the ESPY Awards, July 15 on ABC.
