The purpose of this study was to gather reliable data about children's media use, including which platforms they are using, the activities or content they are engaging in, and how media use varies by age, gender, and socioeconomic status.

This web-based survey uses a probability-based online panel to represent the United States. Respondents were randomly recruited using address-based sampling and random digital dial telephone surveys. The survey questionnaire was offered in English and Spanish.

This report is based on a nationally representative survey of 1,463 parents of children age 8 and under including an over-sample of African-American and Latino parents. It uses a probability-based online panel designed to be representative of the United States. Members of the panel were randomly recruited to participate using address-based sampling and random-digit-dial telephone surveys. Households that were not already online were provided with notebook computers and dial-up Internet access for the purpose of participating.
