Is the Portrayal of Children in the News Moving Us Toward a Collective Sense of Responsibility?

Kids are having their media moment. Although having kids in the spotlight is great, we also need to consider how they are presented. Are these issues being positioned in ways that will move our society toward considering the best interests of children in all our decisions?

When It Comes to Kids, Are We Communicating What We Think We Are?

There are thousands of amazing organizations and tens of thousands of child advocates across the country who work tirelessly to ensure that all of our kids can thrive. And yet, as important and effective that our advocacy has been, it is hard to ignore the fact that our collective efforts have not had the full impact we all hope for.

Why Aren’t Kids a Policy Priority?

Together with the FrameWorks Institute, we seek to understand the mindsets we have about kids and will develop tools to help shift them to increase the salience of children’s issues and build our collective responsibility to better address them.
