MediaWise/PressWise has taken a special interest in issues associated with media coverage of children and children's engagement with the media.
 
In 1997 PressWise organised a major conference as part of the UK response to the 1996 Stockholm World Congress Against the Commercial Sexual Exploitation of Children. Later that year the PressWise Director Mike Jempson was appointed Media Child Rights Co-ordinator for the International Federation of Journalists. 
 
The Trust has continued to work with UNICEF and the IFJ on a variety of projects, conducting research, contributing to international conferences, and devising and delivering training around the world.
