American Children 8-18 Average Over 75 Media Hours per Week!
February 4th, 2010
The hours of mass media consumed by American children and teenagers just took another big jump upward.
A new study by the Henry J. Kaiser Family Foundation shows that American children age 8-18 consume on average 75 and one-quarter hours of one or another form of mass media per week, an increase of more than 15 hours per week since 2004.
The study observed 2,002 school-age children from October 2008 until May 2009. It was supported by a more comprehensive study of 702 students who wrote media diaries.
