Leereffecten van Jeugdjournaal en drie versies van krantennieuws: een mediavergelijkend experiment

---

Abstract

An experiment was conducted that compared children’s recall of news stories presented via television or print. Unlike previous experiments, television news stories were compared not only with literal transcripts of the television narratives, but also with two different ‘real’ newspaper versions written by journalists. In addition, the study investigated whether the relative effectiveness of television and print in conveying news information was dependent on children’s reading proficiency. A sample of 144 fourth and sixth graders was presented with a sequence of five children’s news stories, either in their original television form or in one of the three print versions. The results of a cued-recall test indicated that children who watched the news remembered the stories better than children who read one of the three print versions, regardless of their level of reading proficiency.
