Google commissioned Audience Lab to examine the role of YouTube in Canada’s media ecosystem with a report focusing on Canadian YouTube creators and consumers.
The study proved groundbreaking on two fronts:
Nationally: YouTube has been available in Canada for fourteen years; however, this is the first study to examine how it contributes to the Canadian media ecosystem; and,
Globally: There has been significant research on YouTube spanning its first fourteen years, but there is a “notable absence” of research that examines the impact of YouTube on national media ecosystems.
