The consultancy Delloite is out with its fifth edition of its survey “State of Media Democracy,” and it’s full of interesting information. Among the tidbits:

  • 61% of Americans now have a social networking site/page.
  • Nearly 75% are multi-tasking while watching TV.
  • “42 percent are online, 29 percent are talking on cellphones or mobile devices, and 26 percent are sending instant messages or text messages.”
  • A biggie: “Internet, mobile and social media channels are enhancing the overall television viewer experience, driving people to watch first-run programs and live events.”
  • 33% of US households have a smartphone. Was 11% three years ago.
