Survey: One in five U.S. teens has a blog

Nearly three in five school-age teens with Internet access have created on-line content, including Web pages with artwork, photos and stories and about a fifth have their own blogs, which also allow friends and other readers to create feedback postings.Those are some of the findings from a survey of 12- to 17-year-olds conducted by the Pew Internet and American Life Project.

Among adults, Pew says about 7 per cent of Internet users have created their own blogs, or on-line diaries. And while 26 per cent of adults say they read blogs, 38 per cent of young people with on-line access said they do so.
