Children’s media are subject to intense public, academic, press and legislative attention, out of consideration for young people’s healthy development. The American Center for Children and Media – an ‘executive roundtable’ for TV and digital industry leaders – anticipates, analyzes and acts regarding research findings, evolving technologies, social shifts and the volatile marketplace.
The result is positive initiatives in the service of audience needs, and a coordinated response when the industry has to speak out against attacks or inaccuracies. In other words, the Center leads its constituents to "do well by doing good."
PRIX JEUNESSE is the international children's TV festival, that takes place every other year in Munich. ACCM President David Kleeman blogged from PJ08; his reports are available here.

 |
Convenes its Executive Roundtable for forthright discussion of industry issues, and to consider solutions or strategies that are child-friendly, responsible and sustainable; |
|
|
Offers insight and guidance on emerging and ongoing issues that influence our craft and business, challenging current practices as necessary; |
|
|
Serves as a public voice for the children’s media industries where feasible; |
|
|
Continually amasses up-to-date research, news and writings about children and media, from which it digests, analyzes and disseminates information on trends and themes; |
|
|
|

Nothing in this industry-wide effort in any way diminishes individual companies’ freedom to act strategically or in their own best interests. |
