Raising News-Savvy Kids

I recently sat down with L.A. Parent Magazine to chat about raising "news-savvy" children.  It's such a difficult topic - but it's one ALL PARENTS FACE - every single day.   It's an impossible topic to tackle in a single article, but it's crucial to have this conversation.  How to empower our children - how to teach them to be smart news consumers - and what we can do as parents to lead from a position of positivity -- ALL of this matters to me, and I'm guessing it's something you care deeply about as well.  Here's the article!

This is a topic I care passionately about - and it was also the focus of my recent TED x Hollywood talk.  

I know we live in a time where no one seems to trust the media.  As a member of the media for the past 16 years, I definitely have an opinion about this.  Maybe my take on it all will surprise you.  

My speech is entitled, "Hate the Media?  So do I.  And I'm a Reporter."
