July 19, 2009 Here are some of the brand new resources or lesser known resources I named on the air today for those seeking SOLUTIONS rather than just identifying problems to get girls strong from the start and counter-act raising girls amidst "meat marketing"so pervasive today.

Raising Girls Amidst Meat Marketing: Carls Jr., Burger King Raunch

July 16, 2009 by Amy Jussel 32 Comments

Jan. 27, 2015 Update: It's achingly sad that I can reprise my own prose about "meat marketing" women with gobsmacking sexualization and objectification commodifying bodies as edible objects to be consumed, but alas Carl's Jr. is using the same stale crass-en masse trash for outrage baiting buzz in 2015 as they did five years ago.Guess they're consistent in their sexist tripe, … [Read more...]

Privo Privacy Vault: How Safe is Kids Digital Data? Part 2

July 14, 2009 by Amy Jussel 4 Comments

July 14, 2009 Yesterday in my Part One preamble to the interview with Privo executives, I tried to give an overview of how 'kids online safety' is more than 'balancing safety and fun' it's politics, it's opportunistic marketing, it's regulatory, and...it's complicated. With dogged tenacity here's my attempt to sort out how to keep kids safe online (for parents, as well as … [Read more...]

Keeping Kids Safe From Predators (er, Marketers) Part One

July 13, 2009 by Amy Jussel 10 Comments

July 13, 2009 Since researcher Sara M. Grimes opened up the conversation on data mining and privacy practices for us, I’d like to keep the focus on this important topic for a sec, because I DO believe we can use media and marketing to impact kids in favorable ways, and have founded our entire organization on that premise to sift out the sludge and elevate the possibility. … [Read more...]

Summer of Link Love: Reprint Rights, Yours for the Asking!

July 7, 2009 by Amy Jussel 3 Comments

July 7, 2009 If I were using my marketing hat, I could’ve headlined this post “Expose yourself, and we’ll reciprocate” or some other sexist tripe for click-through baiting in edgy innuendo/ad agency style. But...since: a.) I disdain obvious ad ploys and b.) it runs counter to our mission and all we stand for in raising the bar on media messaging, I’ll simply defer to Tracee … [Read more...]
