Welcome to Youth and News blog

Welcome to the UGA Youth & News blog! As the name suggests, this blog will discuss issues pertaining to youth and news.
For example, Deloitte last month released a survey that contradicts traditional research about the media consumption habits of youth, in this case, ages 13-24.
The survey, which was conducted by the Harrison Group, found that "millenials" (the youth in this age bracket) still have an affinity for print products. Previous research and various academic theories suggest that teenagers are more likely to use the Internet for various news, information and entertainment needs although television has remained the most dominant media form.
Such news, research, conferences, trends and issues are most likely to be topics discussed on this blog.
