This research explores the information habits and digital participation practices of young undergraduates in Argentina. A mixed methodology was used that combined quantitative and qualitative data obtained from surveys (n = 1243) and interviews (n = 132). The results indicate that students are informed in two stages: they find the news incidentally and then delve into those news with which they empathize. They prefer digital environments, but television is part of their informational habits. They read what others share and comment, but prefer to stay away from digital conversations.
