The impact of Digital Media

A day in the world of digital media

Digial mdeia has played a huge part in my life as a mum, employee and full time student.
Firstly, writing as a mother, digital media plays is something I need to be aware of and in conrol when letting my daughter lose on the internent. For example advertisers can tailor make programs especially targeting children, either for legal or illegal sites

The internet has become an integral part of children and young people’s lives, providing invaluable educational, creative and social opportunities. However, the exposure to inappropriate, harmful or fraudulent content and potential risks of grooming, abuse and cyberbullying has led to growing concern for the safety of children online. Whilst safeguarding measures have markedly improved since the Byron Review (2008), the challenges posed by rapidly changing technology means there is still much more to do to secure children’s digital safety.
