Holiday Break Episode 4: How to interpret the Teens and Pornography report

Release date: January 16, 2022

In this fourth mini Holiday Break episode, I address Teens and Pornography, the new report from Common Sense Media; I discuss what is and what is not included in the report; and I offer my own interpretation of some of the findings. Links to the research I cite are below. Full-length Talking About Kids episodes will return later in this new year.
