Abstract

The activity of 279 Spanish Facebook users aged 18-39 years was observed during one month and their posted messages (n=2193) were analysed. Results show that sharing news is a minority activity. The news items shared by users tend to deal mainly with crime issues and are published mainly by general national media. The participants who published news showed higher levels of education and consulted Facebook less frequently.
