Resumen:
Sumario:The current media ecosystem is reconfiguring the place of traditional media, particularly in the way the news is consumed by the audience. The objective of this research, of a qualitative and exploratory nature and carried out through in-depth interviews, is to describe the informative routines of a group of young people who attend the university in the Autonomous City of Buenos Aires and the Gran Buenos Aires Agglomerate, Argentina. The results indicate that traditional media occupy a peripheral niche in news consumption, that they are consumed collectively and that the smartphone is imposed as a hegemonic device for individual use. These findings allow us to understand the evolution of audiences and the adaptation of traditional media in their ways of informing.
