By Sharon Peters, Ph.D.

Generation X (and the front end of Gen Y) are quite different from their Baby Boomer bosses and are not a good fit in the newsroom as we know it.

They are part of a job-hopping generation and so their needs will have to be taken seriously because there is a shortage of good replacements coming behind them. Newsrooms will need to make some changes to accommodate them.
