Researching Youth
Posted by anastasia on 08-18-2008Ypulse readers are always looking for the latest research on youth — and we are attempting to respond with our new Ypulse Research Channel where we resell market research about tweens, teens and twentysomethings. But marketers aren't the only folks researching youth — academics are also producing valuable research on how this generation is interacting with technology. The latest issue of the Youth Media Reporter linked to a bunch of new papers that have been published on youth, media education and technology. Definitely check them out:
