Letting Children be Children - Report of an Independent Review of the Commercialisation and Sexualisation of Childhood
The pressure on children to grow up takes two different but related forms: the pressure to take part in a sexualised life before they are ready to do so; and the commercial pressure to consume the vast range of goods and services that are available to children and young people of all ages.

Proof: reading journalism and society
If journalism had been stronger, perhaps it could have absorbed the shock of social media and the horror of recession. But it lacked the necessary self-confidence. Now journalism's in jeopardy, and journalists must do more to show their mettle; hence Proof, the site for showing what journalism is made of.
