The Center for research on Children, Adolescents and the Media (CCAM) at the University of Amsterdam, the Netherlands, was founded in 2005 by Patti Valkenburg.
CCAM strives to better understand the role of media in children's and adolescents' lives.
Which children are particularly susceptible to potential negative effects of advertising, pornography, and media violence?
Researchers in CCAM have published dozens of articles and chapters that provide answers on questions like these.
Every three months, the center publishes a news bulletin to inform the broader audience of the latest research insights.
