other caregivers to control children's exposure to electronic media and
to promote our media literacy. Media messages from television, movies, music,
and the Internet are a daily part of their children's lives. The resources
offered here will help parents fulfill these responsibilities.

The NAI (Network Advertising Initiative) is a cooperative group of online
companies who have joined together to address privacy issues raised by emerging
media formats. The NAI's foremost commitment is to provide transparency
to consumers with regard to the use of privacy-sensitive technologies. Under
the NAI Principles, they are committed to providing consumers with a clear
explanation of the types of data they collect, how they use it, as well
as the ability to “opt-out” if you choose not to participate.-Pew Internet-

The Ad Council has endeavored to improve the lives of all Americans since
first creating the category of public service advertising in 1942. From
their earliest efforts including "Loose Lips Sink Ships" to the more recent
"I am an American," Ad Council PSAs have been raising awareness, inspiring
action and saving lives for more than 60 years. Based on their long history
of effecting positive change, it's fair to say that Ad Council campaigns
have inspired several generations of Americans.

The Ad Council, along with its sponsors, created TVBoss.org to give
parents the tools and information they need to guide their child's
television consumption. They want to help parents create a television
plan that works for the entire family. From identifying age-appropriate
programming to using parental controls and teaching media literacy,
parents can make television a beneficial part of their family's life.-United States-

New technologies are changing the landscape of their communications arena
almost daily. With an increasing number and variety of communications entering
their homes each day, it can be hard for parents and caregivers to monitor,
or even track, what children are watching and hearing. While technology
has great potential to teach the nation's children, it also has the power
to shape their lives and opinions. The FCC has an array of information to
help parents deal with, decipher, and monitor the communications that their
children can access.
