Abstract

This article examines the relation between teenagers and printed media. The conclusions emphasize that the low indexes of reading are due to, on the one hand, the importance of electronic leisure in the today’s teenagers life and, on the other hand, the modification of reading habits. They also emphasize that adolescents like the same topics both in audiovisual and printed media.
