| Titre : | Children and parents : media use and attitudes report 2019 | | Type de document : | document électronique | | Editeur : | London [Grande-Bretagne] : OFCOM (Office of communication) | | Année de publication : | 2020 | | Importance : | 36 p | | Langues : | Anglais | | Tags : | protection des mineurs Gtande-Bretagne OFCOM téléphone mobile plateforme | | Résumé : | "This research provides an in-depth look at the media use and attitudes of children today, who’ve never known life without the internet – and how their parents feel about it too.
In summary, it suggests that parents are trusting their children with digital independence before they leave primary school, with half of 10-year-olds owning their own smartphone. The technology in the home that children use is also getting smarter, and they’re using a wider range of social media platforms than ever before.
YouTube remains a firm favourite, albeit there appears to be a shift in the types of vloggers that appeal most to children. Local, small-scale relatable people with a shared interest are increasingly popular alongside high profile or ‘celebrity’ influencers. Children are also becoming more socially conscious online and are more likely to support organisations or causes than ever before by sharing or commenting on posts.
Children are becoming savvier in some aspects of their media use; compared to 2018 children are more likely to be aware of vlogger endorsement. However, the majority of children still don’t understand how search engines (such as Google) work or have the ability to recognise advertising on these sites.
While parents and children acknowledge there are many benefits to being online, they are also mindful of the associated risks. Fewer parents now agree that the benefits of their children being online outweigh the risks than five years ago. Worries about content that might cause children to harm themselves, and concerns about online gaming, are also on the increase.
But the research also shows that more conversations about online safety are happening in homes and schools than before. And parents are now twice as likely than they were in 2018 to seek out support and information online to help keep their children protected.
As mentioned earlier, this report forms part of our wider programme of work, Making Sense of Media, which aims to help improve the online skills, knowledge and understanding of UK adults and children. We do this through cutting-edge research, and by bringing together organisations and individuals with expertise in media literacy to share ideas and to support their activities.

| | Note de contenu : | "This report examines children’s media literacy. It provides detailed evidence on media use, attitudes and understanding among children and young people aged 5-15, as well as about the media access and use of young children aged 3-4.
The report also includes findings relating to parents’ views about their children’s media use, and the ways that parents seek – or decide not – to monitor or limit use of different types of media.
The report is a reference for industry, stakeholders and consumers. It also provides context to the work Ofcom undertakes in furthering the interests of consumers and citizens in the markets we regulate.
The Communications Act 2003 placed a responsibility on Ofcom to promote, and to carry out research in, media literacy. This report on children and parents contributes to Ofcom’s fulfilment of this duty."
