PEDIATRICS Vol. 104 No. 2 August 1999, pp. 341-343

AMERICAN ACADEMY OF PEDIATRICS:
Media Education

Committee on Public Education

The American Academy of Pediatrics recognizes that exposure to mass media (ie, television, movies, video and computer games, the Internet, music lyrics and videos, newspapers, magazines, books, advertising, etc) presents both health risks and benefits for children and adolescents. Media education has the potential to reduce the harmful effects of media. By understanding and supporting media education, pediatricians can play an important role in reducing the risk of exposure to mass media for children and adolescents.
