Mobile learning is a technological innovation that makes teaching material accessible at any time with more interesting visualization. The use of interactive learning media has progressively contributed to the information delivery process development. This study aims to describe the contribution of mobile learning in improving the understanding of news item text generic structure. The increased understanding of the text was identified through analyzing and classifying respondents understanding of the main events, the context of the event, and the sources of information enclosed in a news item text. The results of the study showed that the use of mobile learning is so effective in conveying information that it can increase respondents understanding in identifying the generic structure of the news item texts. In the digital era, mobile learning can be used as a medium to deliver information both formally and non-formally.
