Journalists were asked how they use their smartphones. The results published by PressInstitute reveal that they more often use phones for mobile apps than for making calls:

  • 90.6% use apps
  • 79.9% make calls
  • 75.5% take photos
  • 58.3% record videos
  • 56.2% use social media

Detailed results of the PressInstitute study are available in PRESS magazine. The survey, conducted from November 20 to December 3, 2017, included 139 journalists from national, regional, and local press, online, radio, and television outlets.

The Growth of Mobile Journalism


The study’s findings support the conclusions from the "Mobile Journalism" report, published in May 2017 by PR agency d*fusion communication. According to this report:

  • over 90% of editors use laptops and phones
  • 42% of journalists work from home
  • nearly 50% read submitted texts on a smartphone
  • 89% of editors state that mobile phones have increased their work efficiency
  • ¼ of newsrooms have moved online
  • 41% of editors have conducted an interview via online messaging

Mobile devices enabling remote work have led to only 23% of respondents performing their tasks solely in the newsroom, while nearly half admit to working from home. For 17% of respondents, even their office desk has been replaced by their lap as they write articles on public transport.
