This paper uses a qualitative method to explore how individuals consume online news in their everyday practice. The author adopts the double-articulation theory developed by Roger Silverstone, David Morley and Eric Hirsch, and argues that online news consumption is a kind of social and cultural practice that includes two dimensions-text/symbol and technology/ material-that are intertwined. Empirical data show that, via different practices, online news consumers, in addition to news information reception, tend to integrate news consumption and their everyday life activities and experiences. Five types of online news consumption practices are identified: habitual consumption, innovative consumption, social interactive consumption, information-searching consumption and information-wandering consumption.
