The Children's Media Foundation asked Dubit founder Ian Douthwaite to write about whether the recent #layoffs of top #kidsmedia executives represent "another example of, when companies tighten their belts, #kids get squeezed out."
I joined Ian in preparing this piece, looking at the complexities of serving #children when there is no fully #ethical and #sustainable #financial model.
We'd love any comments in response!

I'm thrilled with my Kidscreen Summit 2023 assignment - moderating a conversation on what's next for Roblox with VP #Civility & #Partnerships Tami Bhaumik and VP #Education & #Roblox #Community Fund Director Rebecca Kantar! Dubit loves Roblox and can't wait to hear what's coming!

I’m watching Lemony Snickett with my youngest & boy did they do a great job of setting the mood. Grime in all the right places, dark settings, etc. It’s a work of art. #Netflix #KidsMedia
