Publications

In 2005 UNESCO asked the International Clearinghouse on Children, Youth and Media to prepare a publication on “Efforts and Innovative Approaches to Reduce Violence in Electronic and Digital Media”. The present volume presents the results of the work the Clearinghouse has done in response to that request.

In July 2007, UNESCO and the International Association for Media and Communication Research (IAMCR) co-organized IAMCR’s 50th Anniversary Conference at UNESCO Headquarters in Paris, France. The Conference theme was “Media, Communication, Information: Celebrating 50 Years of Theories and Practices”. The four reports in this publication were commissioned by UNESCO as part of its generous support for the IAMCR conference.

The purpose of this document, prepared by the Memory of the World Programme's Sub-Committee on Technology, is to provide detailed guidance on managing the risks associated with storing archival data on recordable CD and DVD. It recommends a strategy to reduce these risks through error measurement and appropriate management.
