摘要

在当今的混合媒体环境中,新的内容创作者挑战了专业制作的新闻业的地位,模糊了专业和非专业内容之间的界限。在这种信息环境中长大的年轻一代已经形成了与前几代人形成鲜明对比的与新闻相关的做法和态度。此外,新闻定义和年轻人的使用习惯之间也存在差异。2020年8月,我们对德国青少年(15-17岁)、年轻人(18-24岁)和成年人(40-53岁)进行了焦点小组,以揭示年轻人对新闻和新闻的取向。我们的研究表明,新闻是什么和不是什么的界限越来越模糊。然而,青少年和年轻人使用的新闻和非新闻来源以及他们根据信息需求与之相关的功能之间确实存在差异。年龄组之间的差异在保持知情的动机上变得明显,这突出了非新闻来源在信息行为和意见形成中发挥的重要作用。尤其是对于青少年参与者来说,社交媒体影响者(SMI)在这些过程中是相关的,这与保持知情的社会义务有关。此外,焦点小组的研究结果突出了在理解新闻业方面的特定人群差异,因此也突出了在信任和可靠性评估以及所应用的验证策略方面的差异。总之,对于年轻参与者来说,新闻是一种可靠的信息来源,尤其是在时事和交叉检查在线信息的情况下,而非新闻来源则满足了社会需求。

Does Journalism Still Matter? The Role of Journalistic and non-Journalistic Sources in Young Peoples’ News Related Practices
In today's hybrid media environment new content creators challenge the status of professionally produced journalism and blur the lines between professional and non-professional content. Growing up in this information landscape, younger generations have developed news-related practices and attitudes that lie in stark contrast to those of previous generations. In addition, discrepancies exist between news definitions and the use practices of young people. We conducted focus groups with German adolescents (15–17 years), young adults (18–24 years) and adults (40–53 years) in August 2020 to uncover young peoples’ orientation toward news and journalism. Our study indicates that the boundaries of what journalism is and what it is not are becoming increasingly indistinct. However, distinctions do emerge between the journalistic and non-journalistic sources that adolescents and young adults use and the functions they associate with them according to their information needs. Differences between the age groups become apparent in their motivations to stay informed which highlights the important role non-journalistic sources play in information behaviour and opinion formation. For teenage participants especially, Social Media Influencers (SMIs) are relevant within these processes, which are linked to a perceived social duty-to-keep-informed. Moreover, findings from the focus groups highlight cohort-specific differences regarding the understanding of journalism and, consequently, differences in the assessment of trust and reliability as well as the verification strategies that are applied. In sum, for young participants journalism is a reliable source of information, especially in the case of current events and for crosschecking online information, while non-journalistic sources fulfil social needs.
