Tom Brokaw says that he is not concerned about reports that many more young people get their news from The Daily Show and The Colbert Report than they do from the networks' nightly newscasts. in an interview with The Daily Iowan, the student newspaper at the University of Iowa, Brokaw said, "Jon Stewart and I have talked about this a lot, and it troubles him a lot because he is a very serious consumer of news. I keep reassuring him ... that what he is doing is important because what he is doing is bringing people to the subject matter, and they can't watch Jon for half-an-hour, and they can't watch Steven for half-an-hour, without having some interest [in] what else is going on in the world."
