As if black parents didn't have enough to worry about, a new study finds that in some areas, black children are consuming more media than any other racial group.

Researchers say the study, titled "Children, Media and Race: Media Use Among White, Black, Hispanic and Asian American Children," is the first national study focused specifically on media consumption by race and ethnicity.
