We summarize press coverage on the first national survey on gaming and civics out this week from The Pew Internet and American Life Project and The Civic Engagement Research Group at Mills College.
The new report that was released this week garnered wide press coverage.
Based on a national survey of teens, the report finds that youth game playing is universal, social and has potential to cultivate civic engagement.
