This study explores how news authorship, exclusiveness, and media type affect readers' paying intent for digital contents. A web-based experiment involving 602 Spanish adults reveals that authorship (prestigious journalist), exclusiveness, and media type (legacy media and new media over unknown media) increase readers' economic value assessments of...

... This construct is the "culture of free mindset," which relates to citizens' expectations and assessments toward the value of online news. In this study, we illustrate the culture of free mindset is critical in explaining paying intent for news, thus providing a new conceptual tool for researchers interested in the economics of news and online newspapers (Goyanes, 2020, Goyanes et al., 2021, 2023Chyi, 2005). ...
Drawing on a Spanish representative two-wave panel survey, this study examines the role predicting the intent for paying for news of (a) a culture of free mindset, and (b) pay for news injustice. Findings suggest that both variables negatively predict citizens’ intent to pay for public affairs information. Furthermore, the study also advances the moderating role of political interest on these effects, which increases the intentions to pay for news, particularly for those who report low levels of culture of free mindset and pay for news injustice.
... text to distinct properties, including but not limited to the publication date, publication source, primary image, primary language, article title, article content, and author information. The final property, authorship, proves particularly valuable for investigating issues such as gender equity (Ryskina et al. 2022;Boczek, Dogruel, and Schallhorn 2023;Mitchelstein et al. 2020), news consumer behavior (Goyanes, Artero, and Zapata 2021), identification of dominant voices (Tanner and Friedman 2011;Armstrong 2004), monitoring the dissemination of narrative frames (Tsagkias, de Rijke, and Weerkamp 2011;Kian and Hardin 2009), understanding evolving media ecosystems (Quandt 2008), and other subjects. ...
... In journalism and communications there is a significant body of work on identifying the gender of authors to evaluate both bias (Boczek, Dogruel, and Schallhorn 2023) and impacts on story content (Armstrong 2004). Author information is even used to measure impacts on news readers' desire to pay for content (Goyanes, Artero, and Zapata 2021). Communication scholars use author information to assess the frequency of using newswire reporting vs. original reporting (Shaheen 2019;Tanner and Friedman 2011), and also to investigate connections between authorship and biases in content presentation and source selection for news reporting (Armstrong 2004;Somaini 2018). ...
Analysis of large corpora of online news content requires robust validation of underlying metadata extraction methodologies. Identifying the author of a given web-based news article is one example that enables various types of research questions. While numerous solutions for off-the-shelf author extraction exist, there is little work comparing performance (especially in multilingual settings). In this paper we present a manually coded cross-lingual dataset of authors of online news articles and use it to evaluate the performance of five existing software packages and one customized model. Our evaluation shows evidence for Go-readability and Trafilatura as the most consistent solutions for author extraction, but we find all packages produce highly variable results across languages. These findings are relevant for researchers wishing to utilize author data in their analysis pipelines, primarily indicating that further validation for specific languages and geographies is required to rely on results.
... Här visar forskning att särskilt yngre konsumenter är mer intresserade av att betala för digitala tjänster eftersom de är mer erfarna och bekväma i den digitala världen (Fletcher & Nielsen, 2017). Andra studier har visat ökad betalningsvilja beroende på typen av innehåll, hur unikt eller exklusivt innehållet, och vem som har producerat det (Goyanes, 2020;Goyanes, Artero & Zapata, 2021). Samtidigt har forskningsöversikter pekat på vissa metodproblem i dessa studier som gör deras resultat svårtolkade och ibland även motstridiga (O'Brien, Wellbrock & Kleer, 2020). ...
... In the pursuit of profit maximization driven by engagement metrics, media organizations frequently chase the immediacy of news, aiming to capitalize on the allure of "exclusive news (Goyanes, Artero, & Zapata, 2021)." This relentless pursuit often leads to a compromised verification process, as the rush to publish can overshadow the need to confirm the authenticity of the news being reported (Kümpel, 2022). ...
In the digital age, the swift proliferation of the Internet and new media has led to the frequent occurrence of “news inversion”, significantly undermining societal trust and the credibility of mainstream media. Such news, often pivoting on social hot topics, garners extensive public attention and epitomizes the challenges of the “post-truth” era, where traditional journalistic ethics are under siege. This paper aims to dissect the roots and repercussions of news inversion and propose effective strategies to mitigate its widespread influence.
... Findings show that when citizens perceive PSMs fulfill their quality expectations, they are ready to sustain them to the point of directly paying for their service. When contrasting these results to previous findings, we find that, on the consumer level, PSM is being evaluated similarly to non-PSM digital journalistic products and services (Goyanes, Artero, and Zapata 2018;Himma-Kadakas and Kõuts 2015). That is, perceived quality has a consistently positive impact on paying intent. ...
Due to significant transformations in citizens' news consumption habits and the arrival of on-demand multi-platform services, today's public service media (PSM) face substantial challenges to endure their core public principles. Moreover, PSMs' need and legitimacy are being questioned from both a liberal and a populist standpoint, opening up discussions about its sustainability. However, little academic attention has been paid to citizens' paying intent in the context of PSM. To mend this gap in the literature, this study examines expenditure on news and entertainment services and Spain's public television (RTVE) service quality as two potential direct predictors of paying intent for public service media, as well as the moderating role of citizens' age. Findings indicate that higher expenditure on news and entertainment services is associated with lower paying intent for public service media, while higher perceptions of RTVE service quality positively influence paying intent. Finally, challenging prior literature, our findings revealed that the younger generations are the most likely to economically support PSM at all levels of RTVE service quality. This study emphasizes the need for PSMs to reinforce their quality offer and uniqueness and theorizes about different ways to achieve this goal in today's multi-platform environment. ARTICLE HISTORY
... In terms of product-related factors, studies and industry reports have shown that readers are less willing to pay for general news they can easily get anywhere than for content that is unique and valuable specifically to them (Goyanes, Artero, & Zapata, 2021;Groot Kormelink, 2022;Herbert & Thurman, 2007). ...
... Moreover , John, Lee, and Park (2022) have shown, based on an online survey of news consumers in Australia, that perceptions of sufficient and fair coverage of their gender affect women's willingness to pay, but not men's. In addition to these content attributes, further factors such as the media brand, delivery format, ease of use, or payment method also affect consumers' attitudes toward paying for online news International Journal of Communication 17 (2023) Subscribe Now 3785 (Chyi, 2012;Goyanes et al., 2021;Groot Kormelink, 2022;Lischka, Hutter, & Rademacher, 2012;O'Brien et al., 2020). ...
Previous literature has suggested that newspaper publishers should optimize how they advertise their online subscriptions. However, empirical findings on the effectiveness of advertising messages in increasing people's willingness to pay for such online subscriptions are still rare. Therefore, this study conducted an online experiment with U.K. participants (N = 815) to investigate the effects of different advertising messages on people's willingness to pay for online news. These so-called subscription pitches included digital-specific, social, normative, and price transparency appeals. The findings show that a subscription pitch that includes both a normative appeal and a price transparency appeal significantly increases people's willingness to pay. This indicates that informing audiences that their subscription will support independent, inclusive, and watchdog journalism and that a subscription model was implemented due to the news industry's critical financial situation is particularly effective. Thereby, the study expands research on people's willingness to pay for online news.

Also, Goyanes, Artero and Zapata (2018) address the concept of media brand and relate it to identity, pointing out that "media brands are strongly linked to professional journalistic values." They add that "brand equity in journalism is associated with factors such as uniqueness, relevance and preference for readers" (p. ...
Recent technological advances have significantly impacted news media in the way they provide news to the public, evolving into a digital environment. Therefore, digital media today focuses on generating readers’ loyalty to their news websites. In this sense, a multiple linear regression analysis was carried out on a sample of 344 surveys of adult residents in the cities of Mexico and Monterrey. The results show that factors such as familiarity, satisfaction and reputation are positively related to the loyalty of news website users. However, they also show that the importance of the impact of these factors is different when the analysis is carried out in a stratified manner, such as residence, gender or education, which allows us to conclude that digital media can guide their loyalty efforts depending on the profile of their readers and the market they seek to target. To illustrate focusing on stratification by place of residence, the most significant factors for the Mexico City group corresponded to familiarity and satisfaction, wile for the Monterrey group the most significant factors were reputation and familiarity in that order. Results with this type of differences between groups were also obtained when comparing by gender and schooling. It is recommended for future research on the subject, to include other cities within the country, with the purpose of contrasting these paper’s findings.
... De cualquier modo, las cabeceras tradicionales siguen teniendo un valor diferencial en el arraigo de su marca periodística, que genera una mayor confianza en un contexto marcado por la desinformación (Vara-Miguel, 2018). El reciente viraje de la industria hacia modelos de negocio sostenidos en mayor medida por los ingresos procedentes de los usuarios acentúa la importancia de este factor, que la literatura académica señala como esencial para la intencionalidad de pago (Goyanes et al., 2018;O'Brien et al., 2020). El prometedor arranque de estos modelos supone, por lo tanto, una oportunidad para que los medios tradicionales se reinventen y ajusten sus estructuras a las demandas del nuevo ecosistema. ...
El periodismo freelance es una modalidad laboral en la que el profesional empleado por cuenta propia ofrece sus servicios a distintos clientes sin un compromiso a largo plazo. En un contexto de turbulencias económicas, las empresas periodísticas utilizan esta modalidad de empleo para flexibilizar sus plantillas y reducir los presupuestos. En consecuencia, ha experimentado un gran crecimiento en las dos últimas décadas. Atendiendo a esta expansión, el objetivo de la presente investigación es agrupar el conocimiento que la literatura científica ha generado en torno a esta alternativa de empleo. Para ello, se emplea una revisión bibliográfica sistematizada (n=58). Los resultados revelan que el periodismo freelance es una profesión heterogénea, aunque predominan las mujeres, y que este colectivo mayoritario se enfrenta a dificultades relacionadas con la conciliación de la vida personal y profesional. Además, se evidencia un predominio de las condiciones laborales insatisfactorias en diversos mercados del mundo, aunque las estrategias de autogestión fomentan una mayor satisfacción. Este artículo de investigación establece un estado de la cuestión sobre las características, las condiciones laborales y las estrategias de autogestión de los profesionales, además de ofrecer futuras líneas de investigación que permitirían incrementar el conocimiento teórico-práctico sobre el periodismo freelance.

Climate systems have experienced irreversible changes, including ice loss. It threatens the continuity of ice tradition. Journalistic norms determine people's awareness of climate risks posed on local intangible cultural heritage. Nevertheless, little has been studied about local media coverage of climate change in line with the culture in Japan. By comparing with foreign articles, this paper investigates what hampers Japanese local journalists from reporting climate risks on local intangible cultural heritage. A case selected is a winter tradition in Nagano; ritual for ice ridges on Lake Suwa, which local people have considered the god's crossing ( omiwatari ) and have worshiped for five centuries. This research utilizes quantitative analysis of text mining with word clouds to highlight the different viewpoints of articles written in Japan and abroad. Qualitative analysis scrutinizes the focal points of the local journalists who report the tradition. The results showed the different characteristics of the one-shot articles in foreign media and a series of news in the Japanese local newspapers. Foreign media emphasized the climate risk of continuity of the omiwatari practice in the future, while Japanese local media focused on the daily practice of the seasonal event. Interviews in this research revealed that the Japanese journalists focused on ongoing challenges the practitioners face rather than future climate risks. It also recognized the difficulty of reporting invisible climate change impacts in daily news articles. Finally, the article discusses journalistic norms that hamper or encourage journalists to frame climate change and intangible cultural heritage.
... Use behavior is evaluated with a 10-point Likert scale from 1 (never) to 10 (always). The items are adapted from [Venkatesh et al. (2012)] and UTAUT studies that examined media products [Goyanes et al. (2018); Peris and Nüttgens (2011);Slade et al. (2015)]. ...
This paper investigates drivers of technology acceptance of and payment for digital journalism. Environments in which digital media content and technology are fused from the perspective of the user, have yet to be researched with technology acceptance models. In this paper, we subsume digital journalistic content as such technology and investigate how the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology 2 (UTAUT2) explains the use of journalism. Further, we extend traditional acceptance research by investigating not only usage, but payment intention and behavior. To this end, we refer to a representative survey of the German online population (N=4240) and estimate effects within the framework of a structural equation model. The results reveal that the traditional model is better suited to explain usage, but can also explain a substantial part of the variance in payment. Above all, price value, hedonic motivation and social influence appear to have the strongest positive effects on intent and behavior. Surprisingly, effort expectancy has a positive influence on paying intent. Managers who engage in content creation should highlight these aspects. The findings further contribute towards a much needed, better understanding of user behavior across technologies.
