The research basis isn't strong (45 interviews with youth in Nigeria, India and the U.S. plus comments from a 19-member advisory board) but the result is interesting and I think relevant to educators as well. There's an HTML version you can click and scroll through or a single file (84 page PDF) you can download. The ideal news experience comes from a trusted source, is personally relevant and actionable, and convenient to access. It offers a five-modes framework - sift, substantiate, study, socialise and sensemake - that won't feel out of place to readers here. There's also a Next Gen News toolkit (presentatioin view, Google doc) facilitators can use to lead a session based on the report.
