Television watching is going down among children ages 11 through - TopicsExpress



          

Television watching is going down among children ages 11 through 16, according to a new study published in Pediatrics. This category of tweens and teens now watch about 2.4 hours of TV a day, down from the 3.1 hours they were watching a decade ago. But the study doesnt necessarily take into account how television and television-like media is changing. It doesnt tabulate, for instance, YouTube clips or TV watched on computers, tablets or phones. As Melanie Shreffler writes at mediapost, Teens are indeed watching less on TV sets, but theyre still actively engaged with shows. Theyre just using new ways to watch TV that fit their lifestyles. So maybe it makes sense that, according to Bloomberg News, the number of Americans who pay for cable will decline this year, the first time theres ever been such a drop.
