As written, it's a self-fulfilling prophecy, because newspapers are 
printed things.

What question were students asked in order to get evidence to support 
that view?

My psyche is tightly locked into my morning newspaper, and I'd *love* 
to see Gen-Y keeping them alive, and iGens discovering that they have 
their place;  but what I observe tells me otherwise.

[This is not to detract from McKenzie's speech or Tom's report on it. 
I'm just concerned about an assertion that was counter-intuitive to 
me at least.]
