Information foraging
The way we read online will shape what we see online.
Think Nebraska corn fields if you think our habits encourage diversity or complexity.
For newspapers, this trend will reinforce the move toward distraction journalism - short pieces structured to catch the attention of the drive-by reader.
Perhaps journalists should learn to write in haiku.

Why you hating on Nebraska?
I do not judge the corn.
I read the Slate article (and got rick rolled in the process dammit). In many ways it differs little from what journalists understand about how the average reader reads a newspaper: foraging through headlines, reading pull quotes and subheds, skimming short paragraphs...Yawn.
GO BIG RED!!
