It is therefore not surprising that government authorities as well as educators in many countries have become concerned about the influence that press, film and radio can exert on growing minds.

For the purpose of this study we have chosen 12 countries that are characteristic of different civilizations-Belgium, France, the German Federal Republic, Great Britain, Italy, Japan, Mexico, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey, the United Stales and Uruguay [...] It has not been practicable to examine the position of the children’s press in every country, nor has it been possible to study every paper existing in the countries which we have taken as examples. Only those about which we have adequate information arid which seem to us especially typical have been considered." (Preface)
