“…However, for most citizens, this initial uptake in news use quickly evaporated (Bakker 2020), just like in Italy and Spain where changes in news habits were equally short-lived (Salmerón 2020). Although most respondents were satisfied with the quality of COVID19related news provided by the media they followed, participants simultaneously voiced complaints about corona news fatigue.…”

Over half of our news use is comprised of habits: routine behavior that is firmly ingrained in people's everyday life. Conversely, citizens who have not taken up news in their daily routines rarely form novel patterns of news use. Yet, we know surprisingly little about how news habits come into being, especially in real-life situations. Previous research suggests that considerable life changes and disruptions in daily routines can give rise to the adaptation or formation of habits. This paper asks how and to what extent citizens created novel patterns of news use or adapted existing news routines during the COVID-19 pandemic. Connecting insights from social psychology to journalism and audience studies, it analyzes which affective, social and contextual cues stimulate or hinder news habit formation. Employing a questionnaire with open-ended questions with 1293 Dutch news users, we identified 5 groups of news users whose news habits each demonstrate a different response to the COVID-19 pandemic: news avoiders, followers turned avoiders, stable news users, frequent news users and news junkies. In-depth follow-up interviews with these users (N = 22) show that differences in users' everyday context, social cues, levels of stress and anxiety, and affective cues may explain these different behaviors.

“…Also, the studies focused on adult reading (Schutte and Malouff, 2007) have found that women scored significantly higher than men on reading motivation scales and on self-determined motivation subscales. In addition, studies and surveys on reading habits systematically show that women read more than men, and especially read more for leisure (Scales and Rhee, 2001;Mellard et al, 2007; Federación de Gremios de Editores de España (FGEE), 2020) even in confinement (Salmerón et al, 2020; Federación de Gremios de Editores de España (FGEE), 2021).…”

“…It seems clear that from that moment on, most of the work tasks and whole leisure activities were moved inside the houses, something that had not happened before, greatly altering them in many cases. Reading was one of the daily activities that were most affected by this radical change in habits (Salmerón et al, 2020). Reading habits and the amount of time devoted to different reading activities (or types of reading) are influenced by several individual factors (Scales and Rhee, 2001;Schutte and Malouff, 2007;Garces-Bacsal and Yeo, 2017).…”

What role could have intrinsic motivation toward reading in an extraordinary situation like the recent confinement? This research examines the relationship between intrinsic reading motivation (IRM) and reading habits in an adult population considering types of reading (for leisure, work/study, social networks, and news), gender, and distress generated by the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. Participants were 3,849 adults from Spain who were surveyed about their reading practices: before, during the first weeks, and after several weeks of confinement. Linear mixed effects models (LMMs) were used to analyze data. Results showed a three-way interaction between reading frequency, IRM, and type of reading. Also, distress seems to pose a differential impact depending on the type of reading. The higher the IRM, the lesser the time devoted to study/work reading and the more to social and news reading (at the beginning of confinement). In this sense, IRM can function as a protective factor of reading behavior but only for leisure reading. Results support previous findings of the importance of consciously promoting this type of motivation in all individuals beyond educational contexts, since it seems to be positively related to well-being. Other results and implications are discussed.

“…In light of coronamusic's novelty and significance in the everyday lives and psychological coping behaviors of the global population, a corona-themed musical data resource designed to enable scientific study is needed. Despite the release of large datasets surveying psychological well-being (e.g., Yamada et al, 2021 ) and media use (e.g., reading habits: Salmerón et al, 2020 ), to our knowledge, no public corpora document musical content used and produced during the societal lockdowns of 2020. Several desirable features spring to mind.…”
