Resumen
Con la prevalencia de las redes sociales en la era digital, acceder a las noticias en redes sociales se ha convertido en una rutina cotidiana en la vida de los universitarios. Sin embargo, se ha realizado mínima investigación sobre el uso de noticias en redes sociales, especialmente en los países asiáticos. Para colmar esta laguna, pretendemos examinar qué motivó a los universitarios a buscar noticias en redes sociales, en qué medida percibían que controlaban las influencias noticieras, y si las motivaciones noticieras se relacionaban con su nivel de alfabetismo mediático en tres dominios: a) autores y audiencias; b) mensajes y significados, y c) representación y realidad. Participaron 147 estudiantes de una universidad de Hong Kong. Entre las cuatro motivaciones, la socialización fue el indicador más poderoso. La mayoría de los estudiantes creían que podían controlar la influencia noticiera, demostrando un alto alfabetismo mediático. Los estudiantes con alto nivel de alfabetismo mediático son más propensos a buscar noticias para socializar, en comparación con las contrapartes con bajo nivel de alfabetismo. Se debatieron perspectivas sobre cómo educar a los estudiantes para emplear de una forma positiva e inteligente las redes sociales.
