Youth Media Resources
Here is an introductory list of resources about children, teens and their relationships with
media. This is a partial list, but its a start.
Non-Profit & Educational Organizations
The list below is composed of two kinds of organizations, those that reach out to youth and provide them with opportunities to express themselves through technology and those that study the impact of this opportunity on the lives of youth. All of them are presented here as models for replication.
The Community Technology Centers Network (US)
The Educational Development Center (US)
Web Sites
Here is a brief selection of sites for kids, demographic and marketing information.
Jupitor Communications Digital Kids Forum
Books
These are books I read a long time ago (or worked on a long time ago), but I think they are still good primers for people just getting into the field.
