Events

CMF is staging public events to debate the future of public service media for young people. The first of these - on the future of funding - took place on 17th November 2021: Show Me The Money

The second event in the season reflects a theme that emerged from the Public Service Media Report - Listening to Kids - Young Voices on Media Choices, brings together research from Kids Know Best and a trio of experts who contributed to the PSM Report for an insightful discussion of the screen choices 12-14 years olds are making in the UK today.

We need to take children’s TV seriously.  Because nothing is more serious than our children.
