Multi-tasking media maniacs

Do find yourself reading a newspaper at the same time that you're watching TV and listening to tunes on your iPod? Or talking on your cell phone while checking your e-mail on your laptop and listening to talk radio?
A recent study out of Ball State University shows that you're not the only one. Consuming media is now the No. 1 activity in America. We spend more time watching TV, talking on the phone, reading magazines and newspapers and surfing the Internet than anything else. And a third of "media time" involves multiple media feeds.
I'm really happy that newspapers are in the mix.
