Pediatrics Supplement Press Kit
Please join us at the National Press Club on November 1st when the organization Children and Screens: Institute of Digital Media and Child Development will host an interdisciplinary summit with pediatric media experts, researchers and policymakers on what we know, and what we still need to learn, about the relationship between kids and screens—while offering policy recommendations and practical guidelines for policymakers, clinicians, educators and parents.
Children and Screens—an independent, interdisciplinary nonprofit seeking objective, scientific, fundamental insights into children’s engagement with digital media—is bringing together diverse stakeholders to answer these pressing questions.
The panel is timed with the release of the first-ever special supplement on this topic in the prestigious journal Pediatrics, authored by 130 research experts through Children and Screens.
