- Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to investigate the pattern of access and use of different conventional and Internet media by senior secondary students. This survey study on access and use of media by students is the first of its kind in Mumbai. The respondents were from 9th grade to 12th grade students of 4 different schools in the city. Results suggested that most of the students use Internet for searching information related to their subject curriculum. Education-related issues were the highly discussed topic in chat rooms and discussion forums followed by entertainment and health issues. For educational purposes, students preferred to use textbooks, followed by computers and newspapers. Results of the present study indicate that both print and non-print media were very popular among school children, a finding quite different from other developed counties where non-print media are more popular and highly used by school children.
