“…In a like manner, the study corroborates studies conducted in other contexts (see, e.g. Lee and Xenos 2019;Cacciatore et al 2018;Wolak 2018;Delli-Carpini 2017;Lilleker and Koc-Michalska 2017;Bode 2016;Zaheer 2016;Strandberg 2013;Yamamoto et al 2020) which suggested a possible relationship between internet or social media use for news purposes and PK, PE and PP. This is contrary to earlier studies by Dimitrova et al (2011), which argued that, for instance, PK is rather greatly influenced by political interest, foreknowledge, as well as regular attention to political information on traditional mass media.…”

“…Using the relationship between traditional media use and PK to serve as a guide it can be expected that frequent social media use chiefly for political purposes will have a positive impact on PK levels. The relationship between media consumption and PK has also been found in online spaces, again suggesting the viability of this relationship through social media channels (Cacciatore et al 2018;Lee and Xenos 2019;Yamamoto et al 2020).…”

“…While more expansive than Habermas' original notion of the public sphere by considering "multisector online public spheres" (Dahlgren 2005, 153) in the digital realm, citizens now may contribute to the public sphere via (online) news media sites representing marginalized, underserved, and underrepresented perspectives aiming to address and resolve community issues both individually and collectively (McLeod et al 1996;Putnam 2000;Nah andYamamoto 2017, 2018). While this perspective includes participation in various civic and participatory activities (e.g., attending protests and/or signing petitions for candidates), citizen journalism, when defined as civic participation, may refer to emailing newsroom editors, sharing content and expressing opinions on social issues (Kahne, Lee, and Feezell 2012;Yamamoto, Nah, and Bae 2019) including visuals (Chung, Nah, and Yamamoto 2018), or collaborating with professional journalists to produce news stories together (Nah and Chung 2016), which, in turn, may lead to other types of civic participation . Following this conceptual definition of citizen journalism (Friedland and Kim 2009), we consider those who engage with news through various interactive features as citizen journalists-news audiences who engage in the news.…”
