Children and Electronic Media

Recent years have seen an explosion in electronic media marketed directly at the very youngest children in our society, yet very little is known about how these changes have played out in young people’s lives. In order to help understand the implications, the Foundation conducted a national study of more than 1,000 parents of children ages six months through six years. The findings are published in the report Zero to Six: Electronic Media in the Lives of Infants, Toddlers and Preschoolers. —Children and Electronic Media (Kaiser Family Foundation)

I imagine that, if today is a slow news day, you will probably see this make its way into TV news shortly. At the moment, there are only a handful of news stories in Google News.
