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

Editors: Dr. Laura Pérez Altable (laura.perez/at/upf.edu

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.
