"This report captures of the findings of the “Youth on Screen” initiative, which was born out of a growing desire amongst youth civil society groups and broadcasters in the Southern Mediterranean Region to tackle the issue of youth representation on television head on. The report not only looks

"Children, defined internationally as under-18s, account for some 40 per cent of Arab populations and the proportion of under-fives is correspondingly large. Yet studies of children's media and child audiences in the region are as scarce as truly popular locally produced media content aimed at child

ren. At the very time when conflict and uncertainty in key Arab countries have made local development and diversification of children's media more remote, it has become more urgent to gain a better understanding of how the next generation's identities and worldviews are formed. This interdisciplinary book is the first in English to probe both the state of Arab screen media for children and the practices of Arabic-speaking children in producing, as well as consuming, screen content. It responds to the gap in research by bringing together a holistic investigation of institutions and leading players, children's media experiences and some iconic media texts.With children's media increasingly linked to merchandising, which favours US-based global players and globalizing forces, this volume provides a timely insight into tensions between differing concepts of childhood and desirable media messages."

"MTV EXIT ASIA is a large-scale multi-media program designed to raise awareness of trafficking in persons (TIP) in the Asia-Pacific Region with the objective of promoting behaviour change and driving social action. It reflects an innovative co-donor partnership between USAID and AusAID that aims to
...
contribute to a reduction in human trafficking as well as strengthening the anti-TIP sector within the region. The program employs a mix of high profile concerts, roadshows, television programs, national and international TIPfocused websites, public service announcements, as well as features and music videos. MTV EXIT ASIA’s television programs are broadcast nationally and regionally through MTV channels, as well as free-to-air terrestrial broadcast networks. In addition to these outputs, MTV EXIT ASIA produces printed material, supports youth sessions and youth media capacity development camps (both designed to help push anti-TIP messages to the local level). It is also active in working with local anti-TIP and media partners to extend its messages and brand to areas that MTV EXIT ASIA would find difficult to target, i.e. vulnerable populations in rural areas. This PD provides a clear ‘roadmap’ describing MTV EXIT ASIA implementation and sets out four thematic components under which the bulk of program outcomes and activities are gathered. These components reflect the elements of the program that directly contribute to social and behavioural change. They include: (i) Media Content; (ii) Live Events; (iii) Youth Engagement; and (iv) Strategic Communication." (Executive summary)
