A COMPARISON OF THE TRADITIONAL AND ONLINE MEDIA AUDIENCES IN SPAIN

This study is a comparative analysis of traditional media audiences and their digital extensions. The purpose of the analysis is to determine if there is a relationship between the audience of a newspaper, radio, or television and that of its digital counterparts. In order to explore if there is a relationship between online and traditional audiences, a quantitative analysis is carried out by applying the Pearson correlation coefficient to the audience information obtained from the General media survey (EGM, Estudio general de medios). The results show that a correlation does exist between online and traditional audiences in the types of media analyzed (Pearson's r = 0.682).
