| Parenting in a Digital Age |
 Based on in-depth interviews with close to 200 young people and their parents, this projects explores how different families cope with the digital media in their lives, looking at how parents negotiate with one another and with their children over television viewing, iPods, cell phones, and the other digital devices that have become a tension point and an inevitable part of the contemporary American family landscape. Articles and book chapters related to this project have been published on how families discuss the computer and the Internet in relation to ideas of “success,” how teen girls use the digital media to carve out space for themselves in their homes, and how Internet use changes as young people age. Contact Lynn Schofield Clark for a sample chapter from the book that will include these and other findings of interest to parents and leaders of societal organizations. This research project began as the Teens & the New Media @ Home Project based at the University of Colorado. Several former doctoral students in the University of Colorado's School of Journalism and Mass Communication served as research associates on this project: Joseph Champ ('00), Curtis Coates ('08), Christof Demont-Henrich ('05), Cari Skogberg Eastman ('08), Monica Emerich ('07), Michele Miles ('07), Annamaria Russo ('05), Denice Walker ('09), and Scott Webber ('02). At the University of Denver, Caroline Davidson (‘09), Simon Okiror (MA '08), Colette Holst ('08) and Alexis Lynn (MA '09) provided research assistance.
