Increasingly, consumers no longer take deliberate actions to read the news, instead stumbling upon news online. While the emergence of serendipitous news discovery online has been recognized in the literature, there is a limited understanding about how people experience this behavior. Based on the mixed method study that investigated online news reading behavior of residents in a Midwestern U.S. town, we explore how people accidentally discover news when engaged in various online activities. Employing the grounded theory approach, we define Incidental Exposure to Online News (IEON) as individual's memorable experiences of chance encounters with interesting, useful, or surprising news while using the Internet for news browsing or for non-news-related online activities, such as checking email or visiting social networking sites. The book presents a conceptual framework of IEON that advances research and an understanding of serendipitous news discovery from people's holistic experiences of news consumption in their everyday lives. The proposed IEON Process Model identifies key steps in an IEON experience that could help news reporters and developers of online news platforms create innovative storytelling and design strategies to catch consumers' attention during their online activities. Finally, this book raises important methodological questions for further investigation: how should serendipitous news discovery be studied, measured, and observed, and what are the essential elements that differentiate this behavior from other types of online news consumption and information behaviors?Synthesis digital library of engineering and computer science.Synthesis lectures on information concepts, retrieval, and services ;# 54.1947-9468News Web sitesWeb browsingincidental exposure to newsserendipitous news discoveryinformation encounteringnews encounteringserendipityonline newsnews consumptionnews reading behaviorNews Web sites.Web browsing.070.4Yadamsuren Borchuluun1969-,1264385Erdelez Sanda1960-,CaBNVSLCaBNVSLCaBNVSLBOOK9910155693503321Incidental exposure to online news2964298UNINA
