Digitalization is the buzz word for the modern generation.

But, the population of youth is not homogeneous. It is yet to be studied, ‘who’ wants ‘what’. For this, a research paper conducted a case study based on big data analysis of traditional newspaper Rajasthan Patrika. The paper is an attempt to analyze the aspiration on youth with news websites. It deals with the question of how age affects the use of news portals. It answers some vital queries like how the global reach of the website affects the target groups of a traditional newspaper? It quenches the question of what sort of content is expected by its very users.
