A Field Guide to the New Digital Landscape
From Sales Pitches to Civics Lessons: Something for Everyone Online
CME Report Explores the Online World of Teens

A 2001 report from the Center for Media Education, provided here as background to work produced by Kathryn Montgomery after coming to American University and CSM (see “Youth as E-Citizens”), surveys the burgeoning digital media culture directed at—and in some cases created by—teens.

TeenSites.com-A Field Guide to the New Digital Landscape examines the uniquely interactive nature of the new media, and explores the ways in which teens are at once shaping and being shaped by the electronic culture that surrounds them.
