“…Mobile news browsing in different locations may present users with interfering signals such as chatter and noise and changing visual stimuli. Such a distraction can result in low attention to news; instead of increasing political knowledge, mobile news browsing on news websites and social media platforms can result in a less informed impression of a topic (Costera Meijer 2007). Shorter usage episodes of mobile news browsing (Nelson and Lei 2018;Knight Foundation 2016) and extensive scrolling in social media news feeds on a mobile (Oulasvirta, Rattenbury, Ra, & Raita 2012) can compromise information uptake even further.…”

Especially during election times, news is an indispensable means for citizens to make informed political decisions. The ubiquitous information access of mobile devices creates the potential for increasing news use among citizens in general and specifically during campaign time. However, little is known about the outcomes of this new way of accessing news, although research suggests that less attention and involvement are dedicated to news accessed on a mobile phone. This study therefore applies the differential gains perspective to mobile news use during the 2015 Danish national election campaign. We utilize a pre-and post-election panel survey and a smartphone-based media diary study among Danish voters (n ¼ 1108) to test whether news app use and mobile browsing affect political knowledge and campaign participation differently than other types of campaign news exposure. Results suggest equal gains for citizens' political knowledge, but differential gains for mobilizing effects of mobile news use.

“…Los medios online han sido bien acogidos por adolescentes y jóvenes debido a sus múltiples ventajas como el acceso segmentado, ágil y veloz a la información que se puede consumir de forma inmediata (Costera, 2007). Otros factores que parecen influir en su consumo serían la gratuidad (Casero-Ripollés, 2012; Cherian y Jacob, 2012), sin que se vea especialmente resentida la percepción de calidad o credibilidad (García Avilés, Navarro Maillo y Arias Robles, 2014; Catalina García, García Jiménez y Montes Vozmediano, 2015) que jóvenes y adolescentes otorgan a la información consumida en el soporte digital.…”

Esto no significa que disminuya la demanda de calidad informativa, pues investigaciones como la de Costera (2007) entre adolescentes y jóvenes de Países Bajos (cuyo rango de edad oscila entre 15 y 25 años) indican que estos usuarios aprecian los tradicionales valores de fiabilidad e independencia de las noticias.…”

Los patrones de uso y consumo de información mediática de los adolescentes experimentan cambios frecuentes debido a la constante evolución tecnológica. Este trabajo, fruto del proyecto REDCON, trata de conocer el uso y consumo de internet, redes sociales y servicios de mensajería de los adolescentes en la Comunidad de Madrid, así como su percepción de los riesgos, el control parental y el acceso a las noticias. A través de cuatro grupos de discusión, con menores de entre 13 y 17 años, se ha constatado un uso multitarea de internet, las redes sociales y los servicios de mensajería, en periodos cortos de consulta repartidos durante el día, con control parental al inicio de la adolescencia que se diluye cuando crecen. Destaca un consumo incidental de noticias, unido a una baja valoración de la credibilidad mediática y una falta de autorregulación de los jóvenes en el uso de internet y dispositivos móviles.

“…However, respondents also revealed a great deal of idealisation in their speeches, meaning they tend to answer according to what is socially acceptable and expected in the aims of the study (Buckingham, 2000: 202), building a gap between discourses and practice. In a study with teenagers, Irene Costera Meijer (2007) of young people about the news. While youngsters demand high quality information (sacrosanctity of the news features) and "are very aware of the social status and civic importance that are attributed to quality news" (Costera Meijer, 2007), they prefer to access more soft and entertaining information, as they tend to exclude themselves as an audience.…”

In an increasingly challenging media environment of post-truth and fake news, disinformation may impact the way young people perceive the world. In this study, we seek to understand how young people engage with news, their perceptions around disinformation, and how they see the relevance of critical thinking for their civic and political lives. Using a mixed method model, we developed a focus group activity with a total of 45 participants, based on the analysis of 562 questionnaires previously administered to first-year undergraduates of two Portuguese universities. The results show that although most students report limited critical analysis of information, they do reveal concerns about disinformation in their lives, suggesting a set of actions in order to combat fake news spread. Furthermore, the findings reinforce the need for news and media literacy that concerns a post-fact culture.
