Abstract

In a changing information environment in which people increasingly select a combination of media platforms to consume news, scholars have taken a more comprehensive approach in measuring news consumption by examining news media repertoires. This study specifically (1) examines news repertoires of young people, based on their combined usage of media platforms and news content preferences; and (2) examines their variation due to social background characteristics. Results from a survey of Dutch adolescents (N = 1,084; age 16 to 21) reveal four distinct news repertoires: labeled minimalists, omnivores, traditionalists, and online news users. Findings further suggest that platform-based news repertoires are related to preferences for specific news content. Finally, this study contributes to the digital divide literature by demonstrating that inequalities in news media usage related to education do not seem to apply to younger citizens.

跨媒体平台的新闻消费与ContentA年轻新闻用户的类型

摘要

在不断变化的信息环境中，人们越来越多地选择媒体平台的组合来消费新闻，学者们通过检查新闻媒体的节目表目，采用了一种更全面的方法来衡量新闻的消费量。这项研究专门（1）根据年轻人对媒体平台的使用和新闻内容的偏好，研究了年轻人的新闻目录；（2）研究他们由于社会背景特征而产生的变化。荷兰青少年调查的结果（N= 1,084; 16至21岁）揭示了四个截然不同的新闻类别：标有极简主义者，杂食主义者，传统主义者和在线新闻用户。研究结果进一步表明，基于平台的新闻库与特定新闻内容的偏好有关。最后，该研究通过证明与教育有关的新闻媒体使用中的不平等似乎不适用于年轻公民，为数字鸿沟文学做出了贡献。
