There has been a shift in the way people have begun to perceive online news, says study co-author Borchuluun Yadamsuren, post-doctoral fellow at the Reynolds Journalism Institute (RJI), University of Missouri.
Yadamsuren says that while some people still perceive news tied to traditional media, others now hold a much broader perception of how the process goes beyond what is reported by journalists, the Information Research journal reports.
"Incidental exposure to online news is becoming a major way for many people to receive information about news events," Yadamsuren said, according to a Missouri statement.
"However, many people don't realize how their news reading behaviour is shifting to more serendipitous discovery," added Yadamsuren.
