5. The Facts
● More than 70% of Children ages 8-18 have
at least two of these media platforms in
their bedroom.
● Children ages 2 to 5 watch TV for more
than 32 hours a week. Kids ages 6 to 8
spend 28 hours per week watching TV.
● This is just television, it doesn't include the
other forms of media.
8. The Solution
Media Educat ion
My solution is to create a program, class, or just a small group. It would
something free and accessible. Where we analyze and discuss media and
the way it makes up feel and how we react to it. We would also talk about
the type of media we put out into the world. We would also create media.
By transforming the process of media consumption into an active and critical
process, people gain greater awareness of the potential for
misrepresentation and manipulation (especially through commercials and
public relations techniques), and understand the role of mass media and
participatory media in constructing views of reality.
