TY - JOUR PY - 2010// TI - Media education JO - Pediatrics A1 - Strasburger, Victor C. SP - 1012 EP - 1017 VL - 126 IS - 5 N2 - The American Academy of Pediatrics recognizes that exposure to mass media (eg, television, movies, video and computer games, the Internet, music lyrics and videos, newspapers, magazines, books, advertising) presents health risks for children and adolescents but can provide benefits as well. Media education has the potential to reduce the harmful effects of media and accentuate the positive effects. By understanding and supporting media education, pediatricians can play an important role in reducing harmful effects of media on children and adolescents.
