1) Related to politics or current eventsAligns with the systematic definition of news as information that empowers citizens to be active and engaged in democracy and community (Downie & Kaiser, 2003).
Female, 17: “It depends, but the first things that come to mind, for me, when you hear about news, is politics or political things like the government. And I think of the newspaper because even news shows are not separate from gossip anymore.” (2013)
2) Anything “breaking”Aligns with the broad empirical definition of news as anything from information about current events to a friend’s new relationship (Cortesi, Haduong, Gasser, & Beaton, 2013).
Female, 15: “News doesn’t have to be major, though – just something that needs to be told.” (2013)
Female, 14: “Well, news means to me, I don’t know, updates. Things that are going on. Things that are going on around the world.” (2013)
Male, 17: “New games.” (2013)

3) “Feeds” and postsIn the digitally networked environment, “news feeds” (Facebook) and “feeds” (Twitter, Tumblr) indicate that peers’ posts are news (Downie & Schudson, 2009).
Female, 14: “Anything that people post counts as news. ‘Cause everything shows up in your news feed.” (2013)
Male, 16: “If it shows up in my news feed, it’s news to me.” (2013)
