Abstract
ABSTRACTMobile news apps have become increasingly popular all around the world due to the proliferation of mobile communication technologies. Many news apps are transnational in nature, and their users practice what Richard Falk calls ‘globalization from below’ (2014) with their use of transnational ethnic media outlets. By exploring some publicly available data on the top mobile news apps in five countries, I argue in this paper that these apps offer important theoretical insight into the nature of global ethnoscapes as they show audience’s news preferences in relation to language use, nationality, and news organisations, which assist in making their users reterritorialized ‘transnations’. The theoretical implications are discussed regarding the cultural practices of transmigrants, whether be first or subsequent generation immigrants.
