Audio-visual media, public broadcasting networks, content analysis, mobile alerts, news appsAbstract
The media have incorporated mobile applications as another information channel for their audiences. This research analyses the features and use of public radio and television app notifications from Germany, France, the United Kingdom, and Spain. The study reveals that although features and possibilities are similar, notifications are not used equally, both from a quantitative perspective (number of notifications per day and the time each media sends them) and qualitatively (subject matter, elaboration, use of image, etc.)
