This year's Kidscreen in Miami saw an uptick in programming that claims to promote kindness and a keynote speech that asked how children's media should counteract "the nastiness, scapegoating and incivility that seem to be pervading our culture."
Nico Franks spoke to CBeebies' Alison Stewart, Cartoon Network's Pablo Zuccarino, Hulu's Andrew Thomas and other Kidscreen delegates about how the social and political upheaval of the past 12 months is causing them to re-think their programming strategies.
