How can we protect kids from marketers?

On the next Your Call, we'll talk about the industry of advertising to children. San Francisco supervisors voted to regulate Happy Meals in the city, but it's the slightest dent in the onslaught of clever marketing directed at kids--on TV, online, and in public. How has marketing directed at kids grown? How has it changed with the internet? Join us live at 11 or send us an email at feedback@yourcallradio.org. What are the tools available for parents and communities to fight back? It's Your Call with Hana Baba and you.

Guests:
Susan Linn, director of the Campaign for a Commercial-Free Childhood
