History
The roots for Media Smart are to be seen in the "Concerned Children's Advertisers" organisation founded in Canada [1] which is also funded by transnational corporations. [2]
- Media Smart is based on a model developed by Canadian advertisers in the late 1980s called Concerned Children's Advertisers (CCA). Backed by giants such as Coca-Cola, Hershey and Buena Vista, the $10m CCA programme now claims huge success in cutting concern about children's marketing over there. "The Canadians were originally pushed into action by a ban on children's advertising in French-speaking Canada, but since the programme has been up and running, complaints on the issue across the rest of Canada have fallen to around zero," says Jackson. "I'm not saying there's an urgent threat here, but we must take the long-term view." [3]
