Indianapolis hosting media violence talk this April |
Ó
Video game violence is the topic of the day once again, as the National League of Cities (NLC) announces a talk to take place this April 17.The talk is titled "Media Violence and its Impact on Children", and will be a round-table discussion on matters like research reports on the impact of media violence on children, the entertainment (video game) industry's efforts to help improve awareness of game violence, and the ongoing public policies being used in light of game violence.
Indianapolis Mayor and NLC President Bart Peterson is expected to start the session, with several other noted personalities expected to hold their own panel discussions throughout the day. Some noted panelists expected to arrive include the Entertainment Software Rating Board's (ESRB) Patricia Vance, the Common Sense Media group's James Steyer, and the Federal Communication Commission (FCC) group's Kevin Martin.
The Media Violence and its Impact on Children discussion will be remembered as the fulfillment of a promise Peterson made on the day of his NLC presidential inauguration last year. As part of his inaugural speech, Peterson said that "I donÂ’t expect us to find clear-cut, irrefutable answers to the questions posed today Â… but we will be in a better position a year from now to talk with parents and our other constituents about media violence."
The talk will be held this April 17 (Tuesday) at The Indianapolis Marriott Downtown, at 350 West Maryland Street, Indianapolis.

I live in Indianapolis and Bart Peterson is a douche bag. When first elected he tried to make it illegal for anyone under 18 to enter an arcade. That doesn't matter anymore because nobody enters arcades these days anyway.
Yeah, I live there too. Peterson is a knob that should be screwed onto a joystick to be jerked around
Thank god i live in Florida...oh, wait, Jack Thompson is in Florida -_-
i also live in indy and bart is a *****
