Définitions des termes
1. la consommation des médias. La consommation de médias fait référence au processus d'utilisation, d'incorporation ou d'interaction avec différentes formes de médias, telles que la télévision, l'internet, les journaux et les médias sociaux. Ce concept remonte à la création de mots et d'images et a évolué de manière significative avec la progression des technologies de communication. Des innovations telles que la presse à imprimer, la photographie, les caméras de cinéma et les appareils de télécommunication ont toutes façonné la consommation des médias, la rendant plus facile et plus répandue. L'avènement des médias sociaux et des appareils mobiles a encore transformé la consommation de médias, qui est devenue une activité quotidienne, voire horaire, pour de nombreuses personnes. Cependant, cela n'est pas sans effets. La recherche suggère que la consommation de médias peut influencer le comportement des individus, leur perception de la réalité et leur santé mentale. Elle peut également jouer un rôle essentiel dans la formation des attitudes de la société à l'égard de diverses questions. C'est pourquoi l'éducation aux médias, ou la capacité d'analyser de manière critique les messages médiatiques, est considérée comme essentielle dans le monde moderne.
2. market research. Market Research is a systematic process of gathering, analyzing, and interpreting information about a specific market or sector. Its origin can be traced back to the 1930s, influenced greatly by Daniel Starch's work during the 1920s. The concept grew as advertisers recognized the significance of demographic data, and the Gallup Organization pioneered the public opinion poll. Today, it's a crucial tool for funding research and it emphasizes inclusive research design. Market research uses primary and secondary methods to collect data on various market aspects like segmentation, trends, and brand perception. It also plays a vital role in international markets, especially with the rise of internet and social media platforms. Additionally, it's applied in various sectors such as business planning, advertising, and the film industry. This process, while indispensable, also raises important ethical and psychological considerations, especially in terms of data collection, user privacy, and workforce well-being.

In 2001, VNU also purchased ACNielsen, thereby bringing both companies under the same corporate umbrella. NMR is also a sister company to Nielsen//NetRatings, which measures Internet and digital media audiences. VNU was reorganized and renamed the Nielsen Company in 2007.
