Dr. Deborah Linebarger, Assistant Professor of Communication at the Annenberg School for Communication and Director of the Children’s Media Lab, recently published an article in the Journal of Children and Media (Volume 2, Issue 1, pages 34-55). Published with coauthors Ariel Chernin and Jennifer Kotler, this article focuses on children’s perceptions of media and nonmedia activities. Results indicated that children’s media choices appear to reflect commonly held beliefs about what type of person would select various types of media. They found that gender and age moderated many of these relationships.
