This article aligns with research on adolescents’ uses of digital media devices by conducting focus groups with 80 middle- and high-school teenagers. The chief objective of this research was to further our understanding of what young people thin…

Today Lifetime has nearly universal cable penetration (75 million homes) and ranks sixth among basic cable networks in prime-time viewership (McAdams). Its original programming, including “original movies,” has played a ma…
