Newsletter: Campaign for a Commercial Free Childhood
October 31st, 2008
The folks over at CCFC are really leading the way when it comes to children, advertising and commercialisation. Their monthly newsletters are great and giving an overview of where things are at in the US and globally with these issues.
Interestingly, the October issue identifies that France has banned marketing TV shows to children. Their decision states:
We are becoming much more sophisticated in how we view our children’s relationship with media of all different types. This is a good thing. We need to keep questioning and challenging how our children engage with the world in which they live - that world is saturated with images, media and violence. The complexity of its impact should never be under estimated.
