Abstract

This article seeks to shed light on news podcasts, a medium considered strategic for media companies to attract young people without news consuming habits. A survey was carried out through Google Forms aiming at young undergraduate students from the University of Brasília (UnB), Brazil. This audience is within the profile of podcast consumers identified by national surveys (ABPOD, 2019; IBOPE, 2019). The purpose was to understand the uses that young people make of news podcasts and the meanings with which they are inserted in the social life of undergraduate students. The research concludes that news podcasts have already penetrated the daily life of young people, contributing to the construction of information consumption habits, maintenance of social relations and understanding of events in Brazil and in the world.
