Research Catalogue

Secondary research #1: The 2 'mashable.com' website is a good research tool to use as it provides some interesting research that heavily backs up the report. It allows me to analyse and compare the information presented in both articles for me to draw a conclusion. The website report discusses about different topics relating to the research plan, such as; media devices in children’s bedrooms, change in Television consumption, children’s growing ownership and usage of media devices Tablets/iPads, smartphones, laptops), social media and lastly differences by gender. This is a useful website to use as it allows me to examine and investigate further into my research and draw in conclusions.  
                                                                             
Secondary research #2: The ‘guardian’ website is a reliable research tool to use, because the guardian is funded by the government which means that they release news reports based on the public’s beliefs and preferences. This website is appropriate for my research finding because it helped me to justify the key areas of the report and compare it with my other sources in order to see which was relevant and wasn’t. The information on the guardian website also gave an increasing amount of facts which related to the report. Lastly, I found this website very useful and trustworthy, because I was initially taking to it by using Google Scholar. https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2013/oct/31/digital-kids-devices-apps-media

Secondary research #3: The ‘independent’ website is a reliable research tool to use, because it is a newspaper article, which made it appropriate in conducting my research. By using this website it gave me an extensive and wide-spread knowledge of information which I had to go compare and analyse with my other findings and the report to see if the information presented was relevant or not. I found the independent website very useful and trustworthy to use because it spoke more about the time period that children started to consume their media devices, more than the 2014 report. http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-news/dramatic-rise-screen-time-phones-tablets-childrens-health-at-risk-who-report-a7739621.html

#Secondary research 4: My fourth and last secondary research that I found quite useful was the ‘Digital TV Europe’ website. I found the information on this website very suitable to use in my research, because it covered key areas which linked to the 204 OFCOM report such as; how much time a week children spend consuming digital media on their technology devices, the genre, audience and technology, and how social media influences the consumption and production of different forms of media. The site was also written by a trustworthy DTVE reporter who has written many articles for the website.                                           http://www.digitaltveurope.com/2015/08/12/study-reveals-kids-media-consumption-habits/
