Dear Friends, 

As the Washington Director for Common Sense Media, I  have had the privilege
to be part of their advocacy and research efforts for almost nine (9) years.
Now that Common Sense has evolved into one of the largest non-profits in the
country focused on the well-being of children,  our next big step is into
the funding of research and understanding of media and its impact on the
health of our nation's kids.    As such, I am thrilled to announce some
research which John and I have helped support and which was recently
completed by Vicky Rideout.   The study focuses on the use of media by
Tweens and Teens (e.g. differences in technology use between girls and boys,
the means by which technology is differently utilized according to social
and economic factors.) The findings of this seminal research is being
launched at an event on the morning of November 4th at the Kaiser Conference
Center 1330 G Street , NW Washington DC.  There will also be an accompanying
panel discussion with CSM Founder Jim Steyer, Northwestern Professor Ellen
Wartella, an FCC Commissioner, Mike McCurry, and Gary Knell, CEO of national
Geographic.  A copy of the invitation to this event is attached, and I would
love it if you are able to attend this launch if it fits into your morning
schedule.

In addition, if you are unable to attend the launch, John and I are hosting
at our Capitol Hill home a cocktail reception the night prior to the launch.
The reception will be on November 3rd at our home at 628 East Capitol
Street, NE from 6 30 to 8 00 pm.    In attendance will be the panelists,
staff of Common Sense Media from San Francisco, our Washington Advisory
Council and various thought leaders in the area of kids, education and
media.     For those on the Washington Advisory Council, this reception will
be in lieu of our fall meeting.    I would really love it if you could
especially stop by this event at the house and pick up some materials
related to this study and also to meet again our CSM team.   I have attached
both invitations with all the key details, and I thank you again for your
continued friendship and support.

If you should desire further information, please do not hesitate to contact
my assistant, Carey Snyder.  She can be reached at

203-561-6731.   

 

Warmly,

April
