Leaders aim for good media for youth - The Journal
WASHINGTON, D.C. - Congresswoman Tammy Baldwin, D-Wis., joined by Congresswoman Shelley Moore Capito. R-W.Va., has introduced the Healthy Media for Youth Act (H.R. 4925), a bill to improve media literacy for youth and to encourage the promotion of healthier media messages about girls and women.
"Children are consuming more media than ever, but unfortunately, the images they see often reinforce gender stereotypes, emphasize unrealistic body images or show women in passive roles. The need for more positive images of girls in the media is clear," Baldwin said.
