Author: Leif Kramp
Keywords: Millennials, adolescents and young adults, media use, journalism, audience expectations, editorial strategies, opinionated news
Abstract: Which kind of news sources is favoured by young media users? Which kind of information mediation is popular among them? And how is the news paradigm changing?

This chapter uses data from a qualitative survey among editors-in-chief of Millennials news media in Germany to discuss how editorial strategies change with respect to the perceived transformation of audience expectations by journalists.
