Bei der Jahrestagung der Kommission zum Schutz der lebenden Ressourcen der Antarktis ist der Plan, drei große zusammenhängende Gebiete als Schutzzonen auszuweisen, wieder am Widerstand Russlands und Chinas gescheitert.

How are "Gen-Z" and "millennial" defined? Most people in casual conversation just mean "young people" but are not very clear about it. Pew Research thinks it should be about specific year groups.

If this assertion is based on the Pew "News Use Across Social Media Platforms 2017" (http://www.journalism.org/2017/09/07/news-use-across-social-media-platforms-2017/) please note the question asked in the survey reads:

"Do you ever get news or news headlines on any of the following sites? By news we mean information about events and issues that involve more than just your friends or family."

Do you ever... I'm surprised the figure wasn't higher.
