Generational Differences in News Consumption during Election Campaigns: the Spanish Case of June 2023
Abstract
This article analyzes generational differences in news consumption during electoral campaigns in Spain, using the June 2023 campaign as a case study. Based on a representative survey of 1,014 adults, the study examines the willingness of different age groups to modify or expand their information sources. Findings show that 77.7% of respondents did not change their usual news consumption habits during the campaign. However, the 18–24 age group displayed a greater openness to incorporating new sources, particularly digital newspapers and social media accounts of parties and candidates, in contrast with individuals over 65, who maintained more stable information routines.
