Abstract
Located in the Uses and Gratification Theory, through survey
method this study aimed to explore the pattern of reading and
usage of online news media among undergraduate students in the
two universities in North-Central Nigeria. Findings show that
most of the respondents preferred using online news media
because of its cost effectiveness and easy accessibility to news.
Majority of the respondents preferred entertainment news and
fashion news over other news. Based on these findings, the study
recommends that authorities of the universities should sensitize
students on the benefits of using online news media for academic
purposes.
