The discussion surrounding media consumption by children and young people is often characterized by concerns and negative headlines. As a result, the many enriching and educationally valuable offers often fade into the background. In order to draw attention to these, the specialist media education institution SIN - Studio im Netz has been awarding the Educational Media Prize to outstanding digital products every year since 1998.
