(Program to be published in Whittier Journal of Child and Family Advocacy)
One or more additional presenters will be selected from a call for papers.
This program explores the intimate connection between the media and children’s lives. Whether children are merely watching television or surfing the net, the media help shape their general perceptions of the universe. In addition, the media frame the public’s attitudes toward legal questions involving children. This panel will explore the relationships among children, the media and the law on such diverse issues as child victim publicity, the quality of children’s educational television, and on issues regarding gender, sexuality, and punishment.
