Children's Media Use Research Released Today
Today we released research into how New Zealand's children engage with media today – conducted independently by Colmar Brunton for the Broadcasting Standards Authority and NZ On Air. The Children's Media Use Study shows the majority of New Zealanders take steps to manage their children's media use: parents and children use on-screen classifications and warnings, have family rules around viewing and internet use, and change the channel, turn off or move away when they come across challenging content. The use of these measures has either increased or remained consistent since our previous study in 2007.
We have also published today the results of our 2014 Public Awareness Survey, which measured the public's awareness of the BSA and their ability to complain.
You can find both of these reports here.
