Abstract
Today, children grow up quite naturally into a world in which they are confronted with a multitude of multimedia offers. In the process, they turn to the 'new(er)' (currently convergent, mobile and networked) digital media with great interest and enjoyment, as they have for a long time, as empirical studies on the use and significance of media in children's everyday lives in recent decades have sufficiently demonstrated (Bonfadelli 1986; Klingler/Groebel 1994; MPFS 1999-2014).
