Inspired by practice theory, we aim to answer two questions: (1) what are the practices that subtend incidental news consumption on social media among young people? and (2) What are the social consequences of these practices? We draw upon 50 in-depth interviews with respondents aged 18\u201329\u2009years from Argentina. Our findings show the existence of (1) strong connections between technology and content, \u201canywhere and anytime\u201d coordinates, derivative information routines, and increasingly mediated sociability and (2) fragmentary reading patterns, loss of hierarchy of the news, and coexistence of editorial, algorithmic, and social filtering. We conclude by elaborating on the empirical and theoretical implications of these findings.\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/1461444817750396","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2018,1,4]],"date-time":"2018-01-04T15:09:19Z","timestamp":1515078559000},"page":"3523-3539","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":294,"title":["\u201cNews comes across when I\u2019m in a moment of leisure\u201d: Understanding the practices of incidental news consumption on social media"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"20","author":[{"given":"Pablo J","family":"Boczkowski","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Northwestern University, USA"}]},{"given":"Eugenia","family":"Mitchelstein","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Universidad de San Andr\u00e9s, Argentina"}]},{"given":"Mora","family":"Matassi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Harvard Graduate School of Education, USA"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2018,1,2]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_3_5_2_1","volume-title":"Watching Dallas: Soap Opera and the Melodramatic Imagination","author":"Ang I","year":"1985","unstructured":"Ang I (1985) Watching Dallas: Soap Opera and the Melodramatic Imagination.
