“…On the contrary, users seem very attached to the traditional ways of journalism -verifying information before publishing it -reflecting previous research on similar normative issues (Nguyen, 2010;van der Wurff & Schoenbach, 2013).…”

Abstract:The accelerating news cycle means there is a risk that errors become more common, but digital media also allow for correcting errors continuously and being transparent about this. In this study, we investigate Swedish citizens' attitudes toward errors and corrections. The results demonstrate that citizens have strong expectations that news media publish correct information and they have little tolerance for errors. People's background and media use do not affect attitudes toward errors and corrections to any large extent, but media trust explains a small fraction of the results-It is only those who already trust the media that appreciate corrections.

“…There is a trend in communication studies research to try to understand the reasons for online news adoption (Salwen, Garrison & Driscoll, 2005;Nguyen, 2010) and there is general agreement that immediacy predicts the adoption of online news sources. Massey and Levy (1999) have affirmed that immediacy has markedly distinguished online news from its print counterpart.…”

“…Karlsson (2011) has further claimed that the practice of instant reporting of online news promotes transparency in journalism. Nguyen (2010) has found that an increase in online news attributes -in terms of 24/7 updates, customized news and no cost -predicts newspaper displacement. He has asserted that immediacy (measured by 24/7 updates) is the central defining characteristic of online news, and his study has revealed that it is the strongest reason for online news adoption and the strongest predictor of the take-up of online news.…”

Evidence suggests that media displacement theory has limitation to explain the current development in news industry. This paper turns to the work of Bolter and Grusin on remediation which promotes the idea that old media are being transformed into new digital forms. Anchoring on this idea, this paper offers ways of understanding the processes in which online news sources repurpose print news for digital spaces via remediation. Three processes were identified; (1) borrowing the content and reusing it in a different format, (2) borrowing the format only and not the content, and (3) absorbing the older medium in its entirety. The paper also explores users' experience with new news media and suggests that greater interactivity and user control in online environment indicate the experience of immediacy. To achieve immediacy is the goal of all media, and its manifestation ranges from an improved experience to a sense of being there (or presence) in media use. Linking remediation and literature in journalism studies, this essay contests the straightforward definition of news immediacy and introduces a theoretically driven concept focusing on a sense of presence in news consumption. The dimension of immediacy adds to our knowledge of the complementary use of online and print news media, and is central to the issue of media survival and competition in today's digital age.

“…Examining online news use in Hong Kong, Chan and Fang [5] factor-analyzed 10 online news features and found that convenience, interactivity and multimedia were the key factors of adoption. Nguyen [6] found that an increase in online news attributes -in terms of 24/7 updates, customized news and no cost -predicts newspaper displacement. The attribute of convenience was found to be a strong predictor of the credibility of online news among politically interested news users [7].…”

Abstract. The term media experience is seldom defined explicitly by communication and media scholars. Most often, it refers to media use and the feeling (such as enjoyment) resulted from the use. To fill this void, the present study turns to presence studies which espouse the idea of being there in mediated environment. As online news use involves a kind of mediated experience, this study adopts the existing measure of presence to determine the multiple dimensions of online news experience. A Principal Component Analysis (PCA) was used to establish the dimensions of the experience in this exploratory study. Four dimensions were extracted from the analysis: para-social interaction, transportation, absorption and social realism. The study found that online news users were experiencing beyond ordinary description; they interacted with the news, absorbed in the narrative world, and to certain extent felt that they were being transported into such world and also experienced the realism that the news stories tend to convey. Implications for understanding the experience in news media use from presence perspective are discussed.
