The most recent edition of Ofcom's media literacy e-bulletin is now available on the website at www.ofcom.org.uk
Although it’s only been a month since the last bumper edition of the e-bulletin, the fifth UK Communications Market Report has been published showing that people’s take-up of devices with converged functionality rose significantly in 2007, more evidence (if needed) of the rapidly evolving communications landscape we now live in.
Speaking of evidence, the 2008 Media Literacy Audit of UK adults from ethnic minority groups was published this week and shows that ethnic minority groups are at the forefront of digital communications in the UK, with high levels of mobile phone, internet and multichannel television take-up. But, despite this, many people from ethnic minority groups lack confidence finding content online and are concerned about content delivered via digital platforms.
