“…The ELIS of the very young was also explored by Chelton and Cool (2007). While the news-seeking behaviors of young adults in their late teens and early 20s are widely reported in the literature (e.g., Armstrong & Collins 2009;Qayyum et al, 2010;Raeymaeckers, 2004), the media's role in ELIS for this age group requires more explicit exploration.…”

There is a paucity of research examining the everyday-life information seeking of young people, especially investigating the role that the news media has in providing information to young people for use in their everyday lives. A qualitative, interpretivist approach is adopted, involving 34 students, ages 18 to 25, from an Australian university. First, 20 students were interviewed about their news seeking (including topics and sources). Then 14 students participated in verbal protocol analysis, which involved a series of tasks concerning online and print newspapers. Lastly, students were interviewed about how they sought everyday-life information and whether they thought that they had incidentally acquired or encountered information on everyday-life topics in online or print newspapers in the recent past. Findings indicated that, contrary to expectations, traditional print media still played a role for young people, and social media were perceived as important for communication with friends, rather than for news gathering. Purposeful information seeking was more likely to occur online, but both print and online newspapers retained an incidental role in providing information to students for their everyday lives. Participants used a range of media to suit their particular needs and purposes. Thus, access to a wide variety of sources is important for everyday-life information seeking (ELIS) by young people.

“…Un hecho que se alinea con las conclusiones extraídas por Qayyum et al (2010) si bien estos investigadores consideran el consumo de información en Internet no como una actividad de primer orden, sino como una consecuencia secundaria de la actividad de navegación. Los jóvenes tienen otros objetivos prioritarios en su actividad en la Red como el de la interacción social (Carlsson, 2011) siendo la consulta de la actualidad una deriva accidental (Patterson, 2007).…”

“…A pesar del carácter no representativo de la muestra seleccionada, este trabajo presenta datos relevantes que complementan otras investigaciones (Qayyum, et al, 2010;Casero-Ripollés, 2012;o Rayén Condeza, et al, 2014; entre otros) sobre el consumo mediático de los jóvenes, en este caso españoles. La lectura de este artículo se debe realizar teniendo en cuenta que se ha focalizado en jóvenes universitarios, lo que puede producir sesgos en los resultados y conclusiones al no considerar a todo el colectivo analizado.…”

Fecha de recepción del artículo: 04/09/2017 Fecha de aceptación definitiva: 15/10/2017 RESUMEN Este texto analiza los resultados de una encuesta exploratoria entre estudiantes de la Universidad Rey Juan Carlos con el objeto de analizar en qué medida y de qué forma el posicionamiento político influye en el consumo y acceso a las noticias, con especial interés en el plano digital. Esta perspectiva se establece en relación a aspectos como los medios consultados, la credibilidad otorgada o el modo en que se comparte la información de actualidad. A tal efecto, se ha trabajado sobre la base de una encuesta autoadministrada durante un mes a 297 alumnos de Comunicación. Se ha podido observar una correlación entre la ideología y la mayor atención en Internet, junto a la relevancia de la televisión convencional en combinación con el acceso a las noticias digitales. En este contexto, son los medios sociales, antes que la prensa, el espacio más habitual de acceso a la información de actualidad. También se confirma la idea de credibilidad asociada a la prensa y radio tradicionales.Palabras clave: jóvenes; consumo de noticias; internet; redes sociales; credibilidad; ideología.

“…The presence of online media is believed to be the cause of decrease of the number of print media customers because the cost of accessing online media is cheaper than print media subscription. However, there are several reasons why some people keep reading and subscribing to print media, including (Qayyum et al, 2010): -Assuming that print media has become part of the lifestyle -Print media has a deeper and more credible information coverage than any other information media -Already feel comfortable with print media as a source of information Newspaper is print media which is most often read by respondents, with percentage of 84%, followed by magazines (13%), and tabloids (3%) as shown in Table 2. This percentage is similar to the results of a survey which was conducted by Nielsen in 2014 in 10 major cities in Indonesia, which revealed that newspaper became the favorite media of information after internet/ online media (Nielsen 2014).…”
