Children, Youth and Media Around the World: An Overview of Trends and Issues

Susan Gigli

Working Papers from eSocialSciences

Abstract: This overview of trends and issues concerning young people and the media is based on a broad review of existing print and electronic sources, interviews with child media experts from different regions, and analysis of InterMedia’s surveys in transitional and developing countries. The trends and issues highlighted here—from young people’s media options and behavior, to the quality and influence of media aimed at them—all point to the need for more effective use of the vast positive potential of mass media and new technologies to advocate for, and enrich the lives of, children and young people worldwide.
