authored by Irene Costera Meijer & Tim Groot Kormelink

London: Routledge

*short description:*

Changing News Use pulls from empirical research to introduce and 
describe how changing news user patterns and journalism practices have 
been mutually disruptive, exploring what journalists and the news media 
can learn from these changes.

Based on 15 years of audience research, the authors provide an in-depth 
description of what people do with news and how this has diversified 
over time, from reading, watching, and listening to a broader spectrum 
of user practices including checking, scrolling, tagging, and avoiding. 
By emphasizing people’s own experience of journalism, this book also 
investigates what two prominent audience measurements – clicking and 
spending time – mean from a user perspective. The book outlines ways to 
overcome the dilemma of providing what people apparently want (attention 
grabbing news features) and delivering what people apparently need (what 
journalists see as important information), suggesting alternative ways 
to investigate and become sensitive to the practices, preferences, and 
pleasures of audiences and discussing what these research findings might 
mean for everyday journalism practice.

The book is a valuable and timely resource for academics and researchers 
interested in the fields of journalism studies, sociology, digital 
media, and communication.
