Science and knowledge dissemination: lines of action of the audiovisual council of Andalusia in the protection of minors in a digital environment

Abstract

Cuadernos del Audiovisual del Consejo Audiovisual de Andalucía inaugurates its stage in the format of a research journal approaching one of the detected and proven risks involved in the use made by minors of the screens connected to the Web: the defenselessness of children and adolescents against pornography on the Internet. This article –signed by the president of the Audiovisual Council of Andalusia (hereinafter CAA) as legal representative of the institutional regulatory body that publishes these notebooks, along with the counselor who coordinates the publication– affects the renewed commitment of the CAA in favor of Open Science for the dissemination of research and activities, own and others, which in the audiovisual field acquire the category of public service. This introductory entry also includes, in connection with the central theme of this issue, some specific reports of the CAA, the summary conclusions of the conference held on the subject in the Andalusian Parliament and the subsequent creation of a parliamentary working group in Andalusia to ensure the protection of minors from Internet pornography.
