Abstract
The African Americans Online report analyzes the many factors that have
gone into creating the digital divide, including why it is closing slower than
expected.
eMarketer estimates that African Americans will make up 11.8% of all US
Internet users in 2011, up from 10.8% in 2006.
But despite the fact that the costs of computer equipment and Internet access
have fallen over the last few years, there continues to be a significant
digital divide between White and Black America.
Key questions the “African Americans Online” report addresses:
- How many African Americans are online?
- Is the digital divide closing?
- What is distinctive about the attitudes and values of African Americans
that drive their spending behavior?
- What lessons can be learned from successful marketing targeting African
Americans?
- And many others.....
