In this paper Johanna Dunaway, Joan Shorenstein Fellow at Harvard's Shorenstain Centre on Media, Politics and Public Policy, explains mobile’s limitations as a means of news consumption and its implications for an informed citizenry.

Dunaway argues that Americans are increasingly abandoning cable in favor of mobile and that news consumption through mobile devices, but this shift will increase the problem of informing the public, which was already complicated  as a result of media fragmentation.
