The role of news types on people’s mobile news consumption has seldom been researched. In this study, the authors examine types of news participants consume, demographic differences, participants’ reactions to different types of news, and participants’ accounts of the impact of news types. Data were collected by conducting a diary study and follow-up interviews of university students in the USA total of 522 news items were submitted by 51 participants through a mobile diary tool. Participants’ reactions to the news were expressed through providing choices on 23 semantic differential scales. Fifteen survey respondents also participated in the follow-up interview after completing their news submissions and diary entries. Results show political and societal news were consumed most frequently. Statistically significant demographic differences and differences in participants’ evaluative and affective reactions were found. Qualitative analysis of the 15 follow-up interviews concerning news types and reading/sharing activities uncovered specific lived experiences of mobile news consumption patterns. By using a mixed-method approach, the study fills the gap and provides an enriched understanding of the relationship between news types and mobile news consumption experiences. The study also has practical implications for reporters and producers of news, and developers of news apps.
