Confusion and conflicting messages about children's media continue to mount. This article examines the pitfalls of bringing new media research to the public as journalists, researchers, and trusted translators (such as the American Academy of Pediatrics) try to provide guidance. Using an example from a controversial AAP report that identifies a new phenomenon known as “facebook depression,” the author examines how research becomes garbled in translation and how translators may rely too much on flimsy sources to make broad statements about media's impact. The conclusion explores ways for researchers, translators and the press to ensure that parents and the public can make more confident, informed choices about the media in their lives
