FCC: Empowering Parents and Protecting Children in an Evolving Media Landscape

Federal Communications Commission, Notice of inquiry, November 23, 2009: “This document seeks comment on how to empower parents to help their children take advantage of the opportunities offered by evolving electronic media technologies while at the same time protecting children from the risks inherent in use of these technologies. It asks for comment about the extent to which children are using electronic media today, the benefits and risks this presents, and the ways in which parents, teachers, and children can help reap the benefits while minimizing the risks of using these technologies. It also asks about the effectiveness of media literacy efforts and about how the Commission can assist with efforts being made by other federal agencies that are addressing similar issues.”
