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).

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
