If It Catches My Eye An Exploration of Online News Experiences of Teenagers
Teens won't go out of their way to get the news online, but they will click on news stories "if something catches my eye." This study examines teenagers' attitude toward online news and what drives their Web news consumption. A diverse group of 65 Chicago-area teens were interviewed to understand where they go on the Web and how they can be reached to cultivate their interest in reading online news.
