Journalists' information needs, seeking behavior, and its determinants on social media
We describe the results of a qualitative study on journalists' information seeking behavior on social media. Based on interviews with eleven journalists along with a study of a set of university level journalism modules, we determined the categories of information need types that lead journalists to social media. We also determined the ways that social media is exploited as a tool to satisfy information needs and to define influential factors, which impacted on journalists' information seeking behavior. We find that not only is social media used as an information source, but it can also be a supplier of stories found serendipitously. We find seven information need types that expand the types found in previous work. We also find five categories of influential factors that affect the way journalists seek information.
