What do they do when they wake up, when they’re at work, while they’re at their computer or sitting in their living rooms?
The Council for Research Excellence has commissioned a $3.5 million study that will do just that, beginning next month. The council is an independent forum of research experts created and funded by the Nielsen Co.
The results of the observational study, conducted by Ball State University’s Center for Media Design & Sequent Partners, will help Nielsen figure out the gaps in current audience measurement, particularly when it comes to video. Read the rest of this entry »
