Settling through media: Immigrants’ news consumption and its effects on acculturation

This PhD aims to understand the immigrant news consumer and the effects of news consumption on acculturation. By creating a better understanding of the news consumption of immigrants in a digital landscape and the effects of news consumption on their acculturation, we can help news organizations cater to the needs of an increasingly diverse population. The knowledge generated by the research will be helpful for news organizations, being particularly relevant for public broadcasters who must serve the entire population. With the obtained knowledge, I aim to assist news organizations with audience strategy and product development for immigrant audiences.
