Pew Internet has published a report on how teenagers are creating and sharing content online. The press release about the report says, ‘Content creation by teenagers continues to grow, with 64% of online teenagers ages 12 to 17 engaging in at least one type of content creation, up from 57% of online teens in 2004. Fuelled by new technologies, websites, and social network domains such as Facebook and MySpace, large numbers of teens share and create materials online…’

‘Girls continue to dominate most elements of content creation. Some 35% of all teen girls blog, compared with 20% of online boys, and 54% of wired girls post photos online compared with 40% of online boys…’

These findings are highlighted in a new report from the Pew Internet & American Life Project, ‘Teens and Social Media.’ (The report is based on a national phone survey of 935 youth ages 12-17 in November 2006.)
