In recent years, however, this critical relationship has de-escalated due to a growing collaboration in shaping a complemental news repertoire. This study examines how social and traditional news use and users´ perceptions on professional journalism affect citizens´ news content creation. Based on survey data from Spain, we first find that social media use for news and users´ positive perceptions on professional journalism predict citizens´ news production behavior. Second, social media use for news and traditional media consumption are explored as additive moderators over the relationship of users´ perceptions on professional journalism on citizens´ news content creation, showing a positive significant effect. This study contributes to current conversations on the potential symbiotic association between professional and citizens journalism, arguing that citizens´ perceptual appraisals on professional journalism are key in fostering public´s participation through news content creation.</p>}, number={1}, journal={Profesional de la información / Information Professional}, author={Goyanes, Manuel and Gil de Zúñiga, Homero}, year={2021}, month={ene.} }
