The
Center for Media Education (CME) 2120 L Street, NW The Center for Media Education is
a national nonprofit organization dedicated to creating a quality electronic
media culture for children and youth, their families and the community.
CME's cutting-edge studies on the new-media marketplace have had major
impacts on a number of key public policy decisions during the past decade.
Its documentation of online marketing and data collection practices
targeted at children established the groundwork for the Children's Online
Privacy Protection Act (COPPA). CME's Research and Public Education
Initiative on New Media, Children and Youth is designed to stimulate
research on digital media and serve as a clearinghouse of research and
policy developments for academics, industry, the public, and policymakers.
The organization's current research and public education project, "Youth
as eCitizens: The Internet and Youth Civic Engagement," will help
ensure that the Internet serves young people as a bridge to community
and civic engagement. That initiative is designed (1) to promote civic
content and services for youth in the new digital media, through a series
of reports that will assess the major economic, institutional, and technological
forces that are shaping the emerging new-media youth culture; (2) to
gauge the potential viability of a noncommercial "civic sector"
for youth in the new-media landscape; and (3) to define a public-policy
agenda for ensuring its growth and long-term sustainability.
Jesse Chanley, Jr. Work: I am a doctoral student in public administration at Arizona State University. I am beginning my doctoral research on civic education policy in Arizona. I am examining the causal factors that have led to the current state of civic education policy, using advocacy coalition framework and policy design theory as guides to the key causal variables. Key variables are 1) legislators' and school board members' attitudes toward citizenship and civic education; 2) interest groups participation in civic education policy; and 3) how the first two sets of factors have contributed to the level of support provided for civic education.
