'Today' Programme - Video Games

The BBC came to Greenford again last week - this time to find out what we all thought about video games, their increasingly violent content, and whether more should be done to protect children from them.

Our students featured on the 'Six O' Clock News' on BBC1, as well as on 'Newsround' on CBBC. And we were on Radio 4's 'Today' programme too.

This is an important media debate...Is it the state's responsibility to regulate content, and to what degree? Are violent games actually harmful? What is the evidence? Is this yet another 'moral panic' about new technology?

Start thinking about some of these issues by reading the Guardian article on it all.
