This study sets out to identify relations between the use of television and the Internet, network capital as a resource, social support and loneliness. Using a nationwide sample and structural equation modeling, the assumption that (new) media technology destroys social capital is not supported. Moreover, online network capital augments offline network capital. However, this additional online network capital seems to be less useful for offering social support and decreasing loneliness.
