Abstract
The 2017 Reuters Digital News Report found in its analysis of survey respondents in the United States
that mobile devices were used with equal or slightly greater frequency as television for purposes of
taking in news content. The Pew Research Institute had a similar finding in 2017. While true that the
behavior is predominant among the younger demographic of those below 35 years of age, the shift is
occurring across all age and income groups. Perhaps associated as a behavior is that use of mobile
devices is just as apt to occur in personal home spaces (bedroom, bath, etc.) as in public spaces, such
as when commuting.
