MacArthur Foundation to produce multimedia portraits of youth ages 8–18 who are deeply immersed in digital media of all kinds: blogs, social networks, virtual environments, games, media making projects, and so on. These portraits are intended to provide an in-depth look at how young people are using new media for learning, socializing, and entertainment, giving adults insight into the new generation’s digital lives.
