Here is an interesting study that was published and presented yesterday (June 9th, 2011) by Northwestern University to childhood and telecommunications experts in Washington, D.C. The results are from an analysis of two Kaiser Family Foundation surveys that tracked media use by kids 6 to 18. Researchers combed through the data to understand how Black, Hispanic, Asian American and White youth use media and the study revealed some very interesting take aways. Take a look! -YG (@youngglobal) (more…)
