Episode #171. Let Them Be Kids campaign to end the impact of social media on children, Melanie Pilling, Deputy Editor Courier Mail

  • Summary

  • We are at a critical point and coming together is essential. If you feel helpless and struggling with what to do to keep your kids safe online, know you are not alone—many people are suffering in silence- there are many simple things we can do to empower ourselves today to protect our children's mental health and learning how to help your children be seen by us more than screens is one of them. Join us by participating in creating a safer digital future for all of us and, most importantly, our children.

    There is an urgent need for a collective effort to reshape how society, tech companies, parents, educators, clinicians, and policymakers prioritise and protect our youngest users in the digital age and ensure that children are SEEN by healthy adults more than screens.

    Melanie Pilling has worked in the media for 23 years - first as a journalist writing stories across crime, politics, entertainment and lifestyle to run a major metro newsroom managing over 100 reporters. For the last five years as Deputy Editor of The Courier-Mail and Sunday Mail, I have focussed on our digital transformation resulting in The Courier-Mail becoming the No.1 news subscription website in Queensland
