Empowering Parents and Protecting Children
Harvard University's Berkman Center for Internet & Society has released the Youth and Media Policy Working Group Initiative's response to the FCC's Notice of Inquiry (09-94) on "Empowering Parents and Protecting Children in an Evolving Media Landscape." The response synthesizes current research and data on the media practices of youth, focusing on three main areas — 1) Risky Behaviors and Online Safety, 2) Privacy, Publicity, and Reputation, and 3) Information Dissemination, Youth-Created Content, and Quality of Information — to highlight issues of genuine concern and to discuss the positive and creative opportunities that electronic media provide for young people.
