This study investigates the uses and gratifications of mobile news among Egyptian youth, drawing on the Uses and Gratifications Theory as a framework. The research highlights that smartphones have become the most widespread source of news for young people, surpassing traditional media such as television and newspapers. Employing a descriptive analytical method, the study surveyed a random sample of 300 students from Minia University. Findings reveal that 93% of respondents follow news via smartphones, spending an average of 26 minutes per day. Social media applications, particularly Facebook and Twitter, were identified as the primary sources for 71% of participants, compared to lower usage rates for newspaper and TV news apps. The results point to key motivations for mobile news consumption, including ease of access anytime and anywhere (54.4%), flexibility in tracking news (51.2%), and the ability to customize content according to personal interests. Mobile news also serves as a tool for social interaction, enabling users to share and discuss information with peers. A four-dimensional gratification scale was applied, encompassing interactivity, surveillance, social utility, and escape. All dimensions scored highly, with interactivity achieving the highest mean (4.26), reflecting the youth's desire for control and personalization of their news experience. Moreover, mobile news consumption was found to foster a sense of belonging and provide conversation topics for young people. The study concludes that mobile news consumption has become integral to the daily lives of Egyptian youth, with social media apps emerging as the dominant source of news. This trend reflects a significant shift in media consumption habits and poses challenges for traditional media outlets to adapt to the digital news environment.
