The goal of this study is to contribute to understanding how personalized news portals use impacts news reading, selection, and exposure. Using survey data from random national samples, analyses indicated a positive relationship between personalized news portals use and news acquisition. Personalized news portal users reported viewing both more sources of news and more categories of news online compared with non-users. In nearly every type of offline media and channel, personalized news portal users reported increased news viewing. However, no differences in attitudes about news information were found.
