What is it about?
The object of this study is to analyze the new digital platforms for reading press used by students of the School of Humanities at Porto University. For that reason, an online survey of 17 questions long is distributed to 271 students. In this way, the relevant factors that move students to read digital press via different platforms are: comfort, adaptability, availability, etc. Also, we will try to observe which is the profile of the digital press reader, paying attention to aspects like gender, education, age, etc. The devices used to decode information: computers, laptops, ereaders, tablet, etc. Everything is done from the perspective of Spanish researchers, which is something that provides objectivity to the study.
