摘要：This article presents the Flemish part of an international study on news use and outlines seven Flemish news media repertoires. To examine these repertoires, an integrated mixed-method approach was adopted, combining an in-depth qualitative analysis of 36 in-situ interviews with a guiding Q-methodological analysis. This Q-sort technique required the informants to sort 36 types of news media outlets on a bi-polar dimension ranging from ‘does not play a role in my life’ to ‘plays an important role in my life’. The Flemish news media repertoires are each characterized by a specific type of news user: (1) the Quality seeking traditionalist, (2) the Quality seeking cosmopolitan, (3) the Digital up-to-dater, (4) the Headline-based snacker, (5) the Critical omnivore, (6) the Sports lover and the (7) Collateral user.
