Thu Sep 08 22:00:41 GMT 2022





Digitos Journal - CFP 9th Issue (2023)

Monographic Section: News Consumption and News Avoidance in the Hybrid Media System

Editors: Dr. Laura Pérez Altable (laura.perez/at/upf.edu <http://upf.edu>) & Prof. Javier Díaz-Noci (javier.diaz/at/upf.edu <http://upf.edu>) (Universitat Pompeu Fabra).

In general terms, we can say that the paradigm of information and news consumption is in a time of continuous change and re-formulation, in part because of the development of the internet and new technologies and it affects how active audiences consume information. Speaking of journalism in particular, in recent years we have seen the transition from post-industrial journalism to a hybrid media system, in which traditional and new media coexist. The concept of hybrid media systems allows us not only to understand the changing environment of media, but also to understand how power works. The process of digitization has dramatically changed the way people have consumed news in the last years. News use has become more accessible than ever but, at the same time, more people consciously decide to avoid them. News avoidance seems to be an increasing problem, as more and more people tend to disconnect from the news. It is becoming a major phenomenon in the Western societies in particular. This is often framed as a democratic problem since news consumption is linked to civic engagement and political  participation. Therefore, if more people turn away from the news, they will also turn away from political activity and civic participation.

Areas of interest for this special journal issue include, but are not limited to, the following topics:

• News consumption in the hybrid media system
• News avoidance in the hybrid media system
• Inequalities and news consumption
• Gender and news consumption

The monographic section will prioritize papers focused on the topics listed above but will also consider originals that approach these subjects from a different angle.
