“These two variables have been shown as important correlates of Internet usage (Dutton & Blank, 2011).”

“As a result certain socio-demographic groups are likely to have been under-represented, for example both older individuals and those with lower incomes typically have fewer online skills andmore limited internet access (Dutton & Blank, 2011).”

“In Britain, the Oxford Internet Survey (OxIS) has charted 10 years of trends in the online population (Dutton & Blank, 2011, 2013).”

“In 2011, Internet access among those aged 65 or over was 40%, and among those with health problems or disabilities that limited the kind or amount of work able to be done, access was 41% [28].”

“…of Facebook between faculty and students, younger people tend to be the more frequent users of social network sites (Brenner, 2013; Dutton & Blank, 2011; Thelwall, 2008) and so it seems reasonable to expect students to use social network sites more than do faculty and for senior faculty to…”

“Two recent examples of the first type are the reports by the Oxford Internet Institute (Dutton & Blank, 2011) and the Pew Research Center (Smith, 2013; Smith, Scholzman, Verba, & Brady, 2009).”

“The differences between the figures in these studies however suggest that there is a significant challenge in defining Katz and Apsden 1996, 1997, 2000 (reported in Rice and Katz [17]) 1,305/USA Had used Internet at least once a month but no longer do 9.5% (average across 3 surveys) NOP Surveys Dec 1995, June 1996, De…”

“Since 2011, research has distinguished between first- and next-generation users, where next-generation users have multiple devices, some of which are portable, to access the Internet (Dutton & Blank, 2011; Blank & Dutton, 2013).”

“Live Blogging, with its emphasis on curation rather than opinion, might meet such public preferences and help rebuild trust in newspapers, which lag behind radio, television, and the internet in public perceptions of reliability (Dutton and Blank 2011).”

“Moreover, a considerable proportion of people tend to get their daily news through search engines (Dutton and Blank 2011; Newman and Levy 2014).”

“…has altered the ways in which health-related content is contributed and appropriated in online spaces (McNab 2009) and the increasing number of ‘next generation’ users (those who use mobile and multiple devices to access the Internet) (Dutton and Blank 2011) may further alter these processes.”

“The percentage of Britons reading newspapers only offline in 2001 was around 30%, while the percentage reading both online and offline was about 60% (Dutton and Blank 2011).”

“In 2011, only 33% of those aged 65 years and older used the Internet compared to 99% of those aged 14 to 17 [2].”

“This precluded representation of lower income occupations in this study, which due to the nature of such work often do not involve use of online networked technologies (Dutton & Blank, 2011, p. 16).”

“…above, this was borne out in King and Waddington’s (2004) analysis of the causes of the Burnley riot in 2001 in which they noted how the local police were ill-equipped to read ‘alternative’ signs of tension, specifically, ‘the full extent of white racist sentiment and corresponding fears and…”

“The following measures were taken from the OxISs (Dutton & Blank, 2011).1 Individual socio-demographic characteristics of the adult Education (M = 2.7, SD = 0.85; Median = 2, ‘secondary education’): Average level on a scale from 1 (basic) to 4 (higher education).”

“It has to take into account digital skills, social networks and the online development of public administrations (Anduiza et al. 2010; Dutton and Blank 2011; Hansen and Reinau 2006; Jho and Song 2015; Krueger 2002; McCarthy and Zald 1977; Smith 2013; Vicente and Novo 2014).”

“The fourth household, the only multi-genera-tional household in the study, were next generation Internet users (Dutton and Blank, 2011): they were trying to use their fixed home broadband service to support up to eight Internet-enabled devices.”

“In a 2011 survey by the Oxford Internet Institute (Dutton & Blank, 2011) data showed that 61 percent of Internet users in Britain were mainly using a search engine to find information.”

“These ‘digital natives’ are high users of technology in their daily lives but this is mainly restricted to mobile devices and Web 2.0 technology, especially the use of social networks and media sharing sites (Dutton & Blank 2011).”

“The Web is the most widely used resource for health information and this is a growing trend: of those that use the internet, 71% used it at least once to find health information in 2011, compared to 37% in 2005 [24].”

“Kozinets’ innovation was a response to the increasing use of the internet and social media in the forming of culture and community and in everyday interactions (Dutton and Blank 2011).”

“This could be due to their age, with older adults and retired people using technology less (Czaja & Lee, 2007; Dutton & Blank, 2011; Dutton et al., 2013).”

“Over the past two decades, a large body of work has explored who is using the Internet and who is not, on what kinds of devices and through what kinds of access (Dutton and Blank, 2011), how broadly and how well (DiMaggio et al.”

“The Internet is considered an important source of information on products, brands, and services (Dutton & Blank, 2011), and there appears to be an inherent link between the value people place on information sought from communities and the way they perceive the community itself (Brown et al., 2007).”

“on the topic in question. Furthermore, the penetration of search especially is far greater than many social media platforms, especially Twitter (approximately 60% of internet users use search engines [5]).

“This also holds true when employing the more sophisticated concept of differences in access with next-generation users, first-generation users, ex-users and never-users.(36) Table 5 shows that the positive relationship with perceived health is stronger for nextgeneration users than for first-generation users (b1⁄4 0.”

“A recently published UK survey [29], one conducted bi-annually since 2003, makes these points clear.”

“This is an alarmingly high figure in light of the fact that, by 2011, nearly three-quarters of the UK population considered the Internet an essential information source [Dutton and Blank 2011], a figure that grew steadily over the course of the decade [Dutton et al.”

“De fait, l’e-pétitionnement est l’outil d’e-démocratie qui a connu le plus de suc-cès en termes quantitatifs (Wright, 2015b), le mode de participation politique en ligne le plus usité par les citoyens et citoyennes (Dutton, Helpser, Gerber, 2009 ; Dutton, Blank, 2011 ; Hoffman, 2012).”
