[Commlist] Children's Media Yearbook 2025 - Call

The Children's Media Yearbook 
<https://www.thechildrensmediafoundation.org/the-childrens-media-yearbook-2024> 
wants to hear your submission ideas for the 2025 edition!

First launched in 2013, the Yearbook is the annual ‘book of record’ for 
key issues and developments across children and young people’s media. It 
is widely read by those that make media for children and those whose 
research intersects with children’s media, as well as by regulators and 
policy makers for children and young people. And as such, it is a great 
channel for ‘impact’; with a print copy distributed to attendees at the 
annual Children’s Media Conference 
<https://www.thechildrensmediaconference.com/> and the eBook widely 
available

We are looking for contributors to work up short pieces (approx. 1500 
words) that are accessible to a broad readership, and we are open to 
submission ideas that face any aspect of children’s and young people’s 
media:

What interesting/important research (your own or others?) should we be 
sharing in the Yearbook ?
What trends or hot topics are live in the part of the children’s media 
landscape you research or practice within ?

Are there examples of interesting/important practice that we should be 
sharing ?
What are the key policy/regulatory issues that need addressing ?
What should we absolutely be talking about within the children's media 
community ?

As well as being keen to share on research and debate on children’s 
media (in all its flavours), we are also looking for contributors who 
might want to help tell (part of?) the story of the following, as they 
reach significant milestones:

/Andy Pandy/(1950)

/Crackerjack/(1955)
/Thunderbird/s (1965)

/Jackanory/(1965)

/Words and Pictures/(1970)

/Pac-Man/(1980)

/Chicken Run/(2000) and/or Aardman Animation

We are also very open to suggestions for pieces related to a significant 
children’s media milestone of your choice…
