Teen reading in the digital era: Snapshot Report March 2017
report
posted on 2017-03-20, 00:00 authored by Leonie RutherfordLeonie Rutherford, Katya Johanson, Lisa Waller, M McRaeThe Teen Reading in the Digital Era pilot study investigated Australian teenagers’ practice using traditional print and digital platforms
for long form recreational reading. Following Naomi Baron we used long form reading to refer to sustained, attentive reading of texts
that are around 2000 words in length or more. In practice this generally means books, longer fiction or non-fiction available in print or
digital formats. In the digital era, books and other long form narrative and informational texts can be accessed on a variety of platforms,
including print, tablets, phones and dedicated eReading devices. The study, therefore, focused on how and where print books (pBooks),
eBooks and other long form digital texts are sourced, whether by purchase, borrowing or sharing, and the geographic, economic and
cultural factors that influence such choices.
