Forrester Research and Headlight Vision, commissioned by Yahoo and Mediaedge:cia will, today, release a study that shows the increase in Internet usage is actually increasing, not decreasing the consumption of other media. Detailed findings will be released during a Yahoo forum at the Museum of Television and Radio today. Early indications lead to the belief it’s multitasking, not an increase in total media consumption, that’s saving old media. Unfortunately, multitasking goes against the idea of “undivided attention” and “captive audience” many advertisers crave.
