Seiter's Rules
Children's Access Reviewed
Critical Studies professor Ellen Seiter's book,
The Internet Playground: Children's Access, Entertainment and Miseducation was reviewed in the latest issue of the journal Information, Communication & Society.
The reviewer wrote that "Seiter argues convincingly that children should be made aware of the differences between commercial and non-commercial websites, especially because these are often difficult to discern and opines that the critical evaluation of information must be at the center of teaching about the Internet."
