  The always increasing mobile connectivity affects every aspect of our daily
lives, including how and when we keep ourselves informed and consult news
media. By studying a DPI (deep packet inspection) dataset, provided by one of
the major Chilean telecommunication companies, we investigate how different
cohorts of the population of Santiago De Chile consume news media content
through their smartphones. We find that some socio-demographic attributes are
highly associated to specific news media consumption patterns. In particular,
education and age play a significant role in shaping the consumers behaviour
even in the digital context, in agreement with a large body of literature on
off-line media distribution channels.
