Since the debut of the iPhone in 2007, the mobile phone has become
a quick, convenient, and immensely popular gateway for accessing
and consuming news. With three billion mobile phone subscribers,
Asian countries have led this seismic shift in news consumption.
They provide a wide range of opportunities to study how, as mobile
technology matures and becomes routinized, mobile news is
increasingly subject to societal constraints and impositions of
political power that reduce the democratic benefits of such news
and call into question the application of these technological
innovations within governments and societies. News in Their Pockets
explores the societal, technological, and user-related factors
behind why and how digital-savvy college students seek news via the
mobile phone across Asia's most mobile cities-Shanghai, Hong Kong,
Singapore, and Taipei. Situating cross-societal comparative
analyses of mobile news consumption in Asia within a digital and
global context, this volume outlines the evolution of the mobile
phone to its prominence in disseminating news, offers predictors of
patterns in mobile news consumption, investigates user needs and
expectations, and illustrates future impacts on civic engagement
from mobile news consumption. By examining the interplay between
game-changing and empowering communication technology and
constraining social systems, News in Their Pockets provides the
framework necessary for constructive, continuing debates over the
promise and peril of digital news and exposes our underlying
reasoning behind the adoption of the mobile phone as the all-in-one
media of choice to stay socialized, entertained, and informed in
the modern digital age.
