The market of smart phones experienced tremendous expansion during the mid and late 2000s
and greatly influenced the changes in all spheres of life. Since mobile technologies continue to evolve, no
one is able to predict with certainty the future shape of communication channels and which one will be
preferred by the young. The aim of this paper is to investigate the attitudes of young people, particularly
students of the Faculty of Philosophy, and to analyze different ways of obtaining information. Basic
research instrument was a questionnaire specially designed for the purpose of this study. The survey was
conducted on a sample of 159 students: 70 respondents from the Department of Journalism, 45
respondents from the Department of Sociology and 44 respondents from the Department of Psychology.
The results have shown that all participants (100%) own at least one mobile phone, and 80.56% own a
smart phone. From the group of students who own a smart phone, most of them identified it as a primary
device through which they get information. In accordance with the established hypothesis, the survey
results show that journalism students are more interested in following the news, while students from other
Departments are more appealed to entertainment information (social networks, music...). The results
reveal their preferences: the most popular news application is "Blic", which is Android application from
one of the most popular daily newspaper, and which was the first of its kind on the market, while only
20.69% use the application of Serbian Public media service. The research reveals that young people do
not use any media application from the region, even though there are almost no language barriers for
monitoring news (Bosnia and Croatia), but it is encouraging that 10% follow the news through the
application of BBC and CNN network.
