Hungry for transparency: Audience attitudes towards distributed journalism in four US cities

Brown, Peter D.; Wenzel, Andrea; Roca-Sales, Meritxell

As more and more people get at least some of their news from social platforms, this study showcases perspectives on what the increasingly distributed environment looks like in day-to-day media lives. Drawing from thirteen focus groups conducted in four cities across the United States, we sample voices of residents who reflect on their news habits, the influence of algorithms, local news, brands, privacy concerns, and what all this means for journalistic business models.
