The Henry J. Kaiser Family Foundation, March 9, 2005, 140p. (Executive Summary, 41p)
“A national Kaiser Family Foundation survey found children and teens are spending an increasing amount of time using ‘new media’ like computers, the Internet and video games, without cutting back on the time they spend with ‘old’ media like TV, print and music. Instead, because of the amount of time they spend using more than one medium at a time (for example, going online while watching TV), they’re managing to pack increasing amounts of media content into the same amount of time each day.” This is the second comprehensive study examining U.S. young people’s media exposure after “Kids & Media @ The New Millennium” which was conducted by the Kaiser Foundation in 1999. The Kaiser Family Foundation is a nonprofit, private operating foundation.
