Abstract
Los medios de comunicación viven en una adaptación constante para hacer frente a un consumo de información cada vez mayor desde dispositivos móviles. Esta demanda ha dado origen al periodismo móvil, pensado y adaptado específicamente para esta tecnología, y ha propiciado la aparición de nuevos formatos publicitarios para fidelizar a nueva audiencia, también móvil. Para conocer cuáles son los hábitos de los usuarios respecto del consumo de noticias desde estos dispositivos, sus formatos periodísticos preferidos y cómo interactúan con la información, esta investigación diseñó un estudio de encuesta que se administró en España, a consumidores de entre 16 y 65 años (N=555). Los resultados reflejaron la consolidación de los dispositivos móviles para el consumo de información –84,8% consultaba noticias o contenidos periodísticos en el móvil a diario, frecuentemente en el lugar de trabajo y en los tiempos muertos o de espera–, la adaptación de los medios a esta tecnología, y una predilección por las apps de redes sociales para encontrar noticias, en detrimento de las webs de los medios. También pusieron de manifiesto que el video informativo es el formato de mayor éxito entre los consumidores, aunque desde aplicaciones nativas de video, como YouTube o Vimeo. Es aquí donde los medios tienen un reto: ofrecer experiencias de consumo de video más atractivas para que el público consuma este formato en sus páginas y, por lo tanto, recurra a fuentes de información de primera mano.
The media live in a constant adaptation to face an increasing consumption of information from mobile devices. This demand has given rise to mobile journalism, designed and adapted specifically for this technology, and has led to the appearance of new advertising formats to retain new audiences, also mobile. To find out what are the habits of users regarding the consumption of news from these devices, their preferred journalistic formats and how they interact with information, we designed a survey study that was administered in Spain to consumers between 16 and 65 years (N=555). The results reflected the consolidation of mobile devices for the consumption of information (84.8% consulted news or journalistic content on the mobile phone on a daily basis, frequently in the workplace, while waiting for something, or during downtime), the adaptation of the media to this technology, and a predilection for social media apps to find news, to the detriment of media websites. They also revealed that informational video is the most successful format among consumers, although from native video applications, such as YouTube or Vimeo. Thus, that is where the media have a challenge: offering more attractive video consumption experiences so that the public consumes this format on their pages and, therefore, turns to first-hand sources of information.
