Introduction
My first research works were focused on the impact of the Internet on advertising. Since then I have moved to the impact of the Internet on media business models especially in audiences. In the last years I have been also involved in several research projects dealing with children, teens and their use of technology. With and international scope I have trying to guess how these technologies are shaping their lives' experiences, their learning and socialization processes.
