This article suggests that most teenagers are drawn to specific media interests because of the influence or their financial and social situations.
Why has certain media like newspapers, radio, and directories, decreased the interest of most teenagers today?
This is because these forms of media are easily accessible online. Many teenagers can listen to the radio on the internet and also download their own play list of songs. In addition the Google search has become the modern directory. Also, practically any newspaper can be found on the web both local and global.
Why does a teacher need to know the growing trends of a teenager's "consumption of media"?
It would help designing lessons plans more effective. Knowing a typical teenager's media knowledge could effectively utilize resources in class and out of class for assignments. It could also enable creativity and add personality to their work. Not to mention building upon the knowledge that they already have in the varying forms of media in order to maximize their learning experience in and out of the classroom.
