Study: Dutch youth not interested in mobile news or citizen journalism
Posted by Leah McBride Mensching on January 27, 2010 at 11:44 AM
A study carried out as part of an online survey by the research agency DECODE as part of an international benchmark project of the World Association of Newspapers and News Publishers in
2008, has found that Dutch youth (based on 1,000 people between the
ages of 15 to 29) are neither interested in receiving news via mobile
applications nor taking part in citizen journalism projects. They also
do not find newspaper sections aimed at young people a compelling
reason to regularly pick up a paper.
Whilst initially surprising, the results of the study "Youth, news media and civic engagement," are in line with findings of a new study by IBM's Media and Entertainment Group, which shows that online news consumption has dropped among young adults, but risen among older consumers, calling into question the assumption that young people read more online news and older people favour printed publications.
