Abstract

SEBASTIAO, Sónia Pedro  and  LOURENCO, Joana. The web sources of information about politics: an exploratory study among Portuguese adults. OBS* [online]. 2016, vol.10, n.1, pp.125-135. ISSN 1646-5954.

This paper is an exploratory quantitative study that aims to assess which digital information sources about politics are used by the Portuguese young adults, aged 18 to 34 years old. The survey results indicate the preference for media as sources of information about politics, given the low level of trust in social networking websites.

Keywords : Politics; sources of information; young adults; survey.
