Understanding mobile news consumption
20 June 2016
I am currently working on a project investigating how people consume news on their smartphones. I am interested to examine peoples’ idiosyncratic patterns of accessing and reading the news in an attempt to make smartphone change its user interface to better suit the individual news reader. In this regard, we are looking for Android smartphone users running 4.4+ that would agree to monitor their interaction behaviour while reading the news using our dedicated app.
