Personlig nyhetskonsumtion i medielandskapet 2018 : En kvantitativ studie kring högskolestudenters nyhetsvanor

This study discusses whether an individualized news consumption leads to a fragmentationamong readers, to the extent that news of social importance, that contribute to a democratic debate are neglected or missed. Areas of interest are how students of a university in the western part of Sweden consume news and in what ways, through the internet, smartphones, computers or newspapers as well as what genres of news are consumed. The uses and gratification theory and theory of the public sphere constitute the theoretical framework of the study. The method used is that of a quantitative nature, more specifically surveys conducted online. The study was not representative for the total population and thus only expresses itself regarding the answers given by the respondents. Finally, the study finds that the respondents use the possibility of an individualized media content more as a tool to consume a little extraof the news genres they find interesting rather than neglect traditional news media completely.
