Overview
The Television Diary Project is a research project being conducted as the dissertation component of a MSc in Media and Communications. The aim of the project is to assess how the modern audience is watching television.
That is, do we watch television according to the TV schedule? Or are we now living in an On-Demand age where satellite and digital television providers facilities for catch-up television mean we now watch in a very different way?
Thus the Television Diary Project is looking at two things:
- HOW do we watch TV?
- The Social Aspect of viewing - i.e. do we now watch more television alone?
Participant Requirements
You need to (ideally) be a UK resident, and have access to a television set as well as an internet enabled computer within your home.
What Will You Need To Do?
Keep a note of how many hours of television you watch a day in a table provided by the researcher. The table will be divided into columns that will look something like this:
What Else Do I Need To Know?
