Australia’s first national children’s news and media report launched in Sydney November 20, 2017
News and Australian children: How young people access, perceive and are affected by the news was released today by Western Sydney University, Queensland University of Technology and Crinkling News.
The report details how 8 -16 year-olds in Australia consume and interact with news and media. It underscores the need for a national direction in addressing media-literacy skills in young people. Children and teens are increasingly reliant on internet-sourced information and digital access to news. The difference between genuine and fake, or unreliable, news is increasingly difficult for them to discern.
CMA thanks the Romeo family for its support
