Abstract

Taking up current research results relating social media usage to online news consumption, we describe a theoretical and methodological approach that puts the subjective, or personal, dimension of online news consumption at the center of our investigations. Our empirical study applied a mixed-method design that integrated Q methodology. The study provides a user-typology based upon the user’s personal perception of their news consumption habits.
