Kid Media Discussion List kid.media@airwaves.chi.il.us

Owner: William Pfeiffer wdp@uiuc.edu

The Kid Media Mailing List is a list (started Nov 23 1993) dedicated to the furtherance of communications between people interested in, or involved in, the creation, production, distribution and/or consumption of media whose primary target audience is children. For the sake of inclusiveness, the list is defining children as anyone under the age of 18 years, although most of the media to which this list is targeted would be aimed primarily at those under 12.

As a general rule, Kid Media is open to any constructive traffic on the topic. We are counting on the participants to bring the list to life, as it is being run as a tool of communication and not a podium for one or two so-called "experts."

Some of the topics suggested for discussion are (but not limited to): Children's Public Television programs and their impact; Kid's Music and Musicians; Producing Children's media; The role of computers and computer animation in Kid's media; How Kid's Media deals with Societal Issues like AIDS, Sexuality; Family problems, Abuse, Racism, Drugs, Self-Esteem, etc.; Education via media; Kid's movies and videos.
