Socio-structural correlates of online news and information adoption/use: Implications for the digital divide

Authors: Nguyen, A. and Western, M.

Journal: Journal of Sociology

Volume: 43

Issue: 2

Pages: 167-185

eISSN: 1741-2978

DOI: 10.1177/1440783307076894

Abstract:

Using data from a national survey of 4270 Australians conducted in late 2003, this article merges the structural approach to media audience formation with innovation diffusion theory to explore major socio-structural factors influencing the adoption of online news and information. It finds that more internet accessibility, traditional news and information usage, and privileged socio-economic profiles are strong predictors of online news and information adoption. © 2007 The Australian Sociological Association.
