Abstract
This chapter on the consumption of mobile news in developing country draws on the limited but growing scholarship on journalism and mobile media. India, becomes an emblematic instance, as India's mobile phone subscriber base peaked to more than 1 billion users in late 2015, making India the second largest mobile phone user base. In recent years, mobile media in India have also penetrated individuals' news consumption and sharing behaviors. These emerging practices can be posited in relation to the ubiquitous presence of mobile devices and a steadily expanding digital ecosystem. Utilizing both quantitative and qualitative methods, this chapter seeks to explore how mobile apps position themselves into wider news media assemblages in a developing country like India and what are the factors that influence mobile apps usage for news consumption in India? Hence, broadly, the article aims to explore, how these emerging practices are transforming not only the dominant ways of distributing the news but also the very nature of the relationship between news media and its audience.
