Whether it's math tutoring on YouTube, Internet research for the next paper, or children's news on classic television: Today, children have more access than ever to different sources of information and knowledge. Children's TV and the Internet offer a wide range of programs and formats that present knowledge to children in an entertaining way. However, it is not easy to make the right choice. Which content is suitable for which age? How do parents manage the balancing act of letting children participate in the information cosmos without overwhelming them?

To mark the start of the new school and kindergarten year, FLIMMO's current issue looks at how children use media to inform themselves and what parents should bear in mind when selecting suitable and age-appropriate offerings. In addition, you will learn how to support and accompany children in their search for information, what to look out for when dealing with fake news and why adult news is rather not suitable for children.  

Topics include: 

  • Television education: media rules for the start of school
  • FLIMMO explains: Fake News
  • Television on the Net: All YouTube? Video portals at a glance
