When kids around the world watch TV today, the television screen is just one option available to them. To understand children’s viewing behavior in this fast-changing media environment, Nickelodeon Kids & Family GPS launched Connected Kids, a new and ongoing online study that will provide an in-depth look at how global youth are consuming TV and video content.
A new infographic emerging from this study focuses on how kids use devices for viewing. Here are some key findings:
