The Presses are Running – it’s the Yearbook!
We’ve been making a lot of noise about it, so you’ll all be aware that the Children’s Media Yearbook is launching at this year’s CMC in Sheffield on Thursday 3rd July.
The book is available to purchase now in PDF or print versions.
Hannie Kirkham reports...
The industry news section contains articles on BBC Children’s, Disney in the UK, the gender skew question and some honest insights on licensing. Contributors here include Joe Godwin,Kay Benbow, Louise Bucknole, Danny Stack and Julia Posen.
The section on research and policy reveals the work of the British Board of Film Classification, and explores in-app purchasing which has been a hot topic over the last year, the perennially current question of children’s online safety, and the importance of making up your own mind when it comes to research. The contributors include a mix of academics, researchers and regulatory authorities including Alison Preston, Sonia Livingstone and Colin Ward.
All in all, whatever sector you work in or whichever media your kids prefer, there is something here for you. CMF supporters can download a copy free of charge, and patrons will receive a rather beautiful printed copy. Both, plus a Kindle version, are available to buy from the CMF website.
And if you’re at the CMC or in Sheffield at teatime on Thursday 3rd July – drop in for a quick drink to celebrate another successful Yearbook, where we’ll also be celebrating the launch of the new Good Apps Guide.
