Abstract

This paper examined how the millennial generation consumes mobile news through social networking sites with regards to user patterns, preference topics and news values, and whether news topics and news values may influence their overall mobile SNS news consumption and interactivity. The findings show that more than 2/3 of respondents consumed mobile SNS news at least once everyday for 30minutes to one-hour. Male millennials tended to use Facebook and Kakao-talk more than female. While the portal site was the most accessed channel for consuming mobile news, SNS was the second, more than the combined use of national daily papers, TV, and internet newspapers. The respondents' demographic characteristics and news topics also affect the form and degree of news interactivity. With regards to their preferences and prioritization of news values, millennials tend to perceive 'impact' and 'usefulness' as being most important, despite the differences of their demographic characteristics. They also preferred those news values most. There were significant differences in terms of preferred news topics according to the demographics' characteristics.

이 연구는 모바일 뉴스의 핵심 소비층으로 부상하고 있는 밀레니얼 세대가 모바일과 SNS를 통해 어떤 뉴스콘텐츠와 뉴스가치를 선호하며, 뉴스기사에 대하여 어떻게 반응하는지를 조사 분석하였다. 연구결과, 밀레니 세대가 뉴스를 가장 많이 소비하는 SNS 창구는 카카오톡과 페이스북이었으며, 하루에 평균 한 번 이상 SNS를 통해 뉴스를 소비하는 것으로 나타났다. 밀레니얼들은 인구학적 특성별로 뉴스유형 선호와 뉴스기사에 대한 반응정도가 달랐으며, 뉴스주제별로 반응정도도 다르게 나타났다. 또한 밀레니얼들의 뉴스 소비 경로는 SNS가 전국일간지와 지상파TV, 인터넷신문, 종편채널 등보다 높게 나타났으며, 선호하고 중요하게 생각하는 뉴스가치로는 '영향성'과 '유용성'이 '속보성'이나 '흥미성'보다 높게 평가되었다.
