| Summary/Abstract |
The aim of this article is to map smartphone usage among young Israeli adults. Data were gathered using a combined methodological approach, comprising a representative survey of 550 young Israeli adults (21–31 years old), followed by interviews with 60 undergraduate students. Five functions of gratification clusters were analysed. The highest gratification function was the integrative, followed by the cognitive, diversion, emotional, and environmental functions. Our findings indicate that cognition- and interaction-related applications, not stimulation- or escapism-related applications, are the primary characteristics of smartphone usage.

| Summary/Abstract |
The emergence of new media, primarily social networks, raises questions about the interactions at play between ‘new’ and ‘old’ media in terms of the media and the public agendas. This topic is particularly relevant during elections. By analysing news from three Israeli television channels and using an online monitoring system to analyse user discourse over six weeks preceding Election Day, this article seeks to trace the shaping processes of the media agenda and public agenda along the axes of ‘new media/old media’ and ‘free user discourse/professional media discourse’.
