quisition of children’s screen content in the region remain far from transparent, beyond rhetoric about protecting children from material that ‘breaches cultural boundaries and values’. Drawing on theoretical literature that highlights regulation’s effect on policy, and links the principles of provision, protection and participation in relation to children’s media, this article compares regulatory discourses and practices revealed in the documents and speeches of Arab regulators, broadcasters and independent production companies. It finds that, with some exceptions, only the latter advocate measures that look beyond a narrow interpretation of ‘protection’. A dominant consensus around the narrow vision seems to stand in the way of developing more stimulating approaches to regulation." (Abstract)

"This volume captures the domestication of mobile communication technologies by families in Asia, and its implications for family interactions and relationships. It showcases research on families across a spectrum of socio-economic profiles, from both rural and urban areas, offering insights on chil

dren, adolescents, adults, and the elderly. While mobile communication diffuses through Asia at a blistering pace, families in the region are also experiencing significant changes in light of unprecedented economic growth, globalisation, urbanisation and demographic shifts. Asia is therefore at the crossroads of technological transformation and social change. This book analyses the interactions of these two contemporaneous trends from the perspective of the family, covering a range of family types including nuclear, multi-generational, transnational, and multi-local, spanning the continuum from the media-rich to the media have-less."

"En Argentina hay más de 13 millones de niños, niñas y adolescentes (NNyA). 6 de cada 10 se comunican usando celular y 8 de cada 10 usan Internet. La tecnología atraviesa su existencia, impacta en sus modos de conocer, aprender, expresarse, divertirse y comunicarse. Para los chicos y chicas, los

medios digitales son un modo habitual de comunicación y de interacción con el mundo. Construyen su identidad interactuando tanto en la vida “real” como en la virtual. Actividades como chatear, jugar en línea, buscar y compartir información y contenidos, son acciones cotidianas en sus vidas y, en definitiva, del ejercicio de su ciudadanía digital. Así, este estudio busca recabar información que permita obtener un estado de situación actualizado sobre el vínculo de los adolescentes con la tecnología, y generar evidencia para la toma de decisiones en las políticas del sector, especialmente las vinculadas con la ciudadanía digital de NNyA, la alfabetización digital y mediática y la concientización sobre el valor de un Internet sin riesgos y al servicio de prácticas positivas."

This study uses a mixed methods approach combining survey analysis of the predictors and associations with being bullied, with qualitative data to explore the context in which bullying occurs and the social processes that underpin it. Findings show that better data collection and increased resource allocation to bullying prevention are needed. The development and evaluation of different types of effective, sustainable and scalable bullying prevention models in low- and middle-income country contexts are priorities for programming and research."

...
beinhaltet Material, das sich sowohl an diejenigen richtet, die in der Trickfilmarbeit völlig neu sind und mit mobiler Technik in die Thematik einsteigen wollen, als auch an diejenigen, die bereits mit "klassischem" Equipment gearbeitet haben und nun den Umstieg testen wollen. Im ersten Teil werden die Grundlagen für die Arbeit mit mobiler Technik beschrieben. Neben allgemeinen Hinweisen gibt es ein Kapitel zur benötigten Hardware und ein Kapitel zur Software. Da es sich hierbei um einen extrem dynamischen Markt handelt, wird in beiden Kapiteln weitestgehend darauf verzichtet, einzelne Produkte im Detail zu beschreiben. Wichtig ist für die Orientierung, dass am Thema Interessierte wissen, worauf sie bei der Zusammenstellung der Technik oder beim Auswählen der Software achten müssen. Wer genaue Bedienungsanleitungen benötigt, wird im Internet und auf YouTube mit entsprechenden Videotutorials fündig. Auch auf den Seiten der filmothek der jugend sind zum Thema (Trick-)Filmproduktion mit mobiler Technik aktuelle Tipps zu finden. Im zweiten Teil geben Berichte aus der Praxis einen Einblick in schulische und außerschulische Projektarbeit mit mobilen Medien. Den Projekten ist gemeinsam, dass sie ein enges Zeitbudget zur Verfügung hatten und aus diesem Grund mit der traditionellen Technik kaum umsetzbar gewesen wären. Die Projektabläufe sind in den jeweiligen Kapiteln in übersichtlicher Form angehängt. Im letzten Teil gibt es Materialtipps in Form von Links. Diese Liste erhebt keinen Anspruch auf Vollständigkeit, möchte aber Materialien präsentieren, die die Projektarbeit bereichern können." (Seite 6)
