While Going Digital 101: Process languishes unhappily in my drafts folder, I thought I’d post a quick update on some new-ish studies that I’m going through now. Once I process them, I’ll make relevant adjustments to the stats page.
For the interested, though, I’m noting the sources directly in the post.
Cartoon Network has updated its New Generations study of children with 2009 data. The study goes into the media consumption habits of 1000 children aged 7-14 through interviews with them and their parents. I found the .pdf file on Scribd.com, it’s downloadable through this link (registration needed):

I’m also looking for a study published by the Asian Institute of Journalism and Communication (AIJC). It’s called “Internet Access and Use by Filipino Schoolchildren” and I learned about it when it was featured in an article in the Sunday Inquirer Magazine. It’s also referred to in their October newsletter, linked here:

While some of the findings are in the newsletter and in the Inquirer article, I’m looking for the full study. If anyone has a .pdf they’d be willing to send me, please leave me a note in the comments section.
More soon. Apologies for the delay between posts; I’m adjusting to a new job.
