Dear friends,
Since 2003, Common Sense has been working to create a healthy digital world for kids and families. At first, we were among the few ringing the bell about kids and families needing tools to navigate the complicated landscape of media and technology. Today, we are at a critical juncture. Families face a constant barrage of privacy breaches and data misuse, tech manipulation, news distortion, and violent content as kids pick up devices at a younger and younger age and use them for longer and longer. Kids face ethical dilemmas and difficult issues, such as cyberbullying, hate speech, privacy violations, and digital distraction. More and more, they must determine what James P. Steyer, information is reliable and unbiased. And the tech industry holds founder and CEO power over our attention, data, and social well-being.
That’s why, at Common Sense, we’ve joined forces with parents, educators, and legislators to force changes in the tech industry while also giving kids a firm grounding in the ethical and moral questions of digital life to prepare them for the future. We engineered a strong privacy law, approved last year in California, and continue to work with federal lawmakers on additional legislation. We provide trusted tools to nearly 1 million classrooms in 74,000 schools in the United States and beyond. Our parenting advice and ratings and reviews, used by more than 110 million people every year, help parents protect kids from inappropriate content and manipulative tactics, choose media that’s right for them, and establish healthy media and tech habits. And our research on the health and developmental effects of technology guides all our work, helping parents, educators, and legislators better understand the rapidly changing media landscape and make the right choices for kids.
At Common Sense we believe that digital citizenship is a foundational skill for learning and life. Kids already are using the immense power of the internet and mobile technologies to explore, connect, create, and learn in ways never before imagined. But it will take us all working together to ensure that the dizzying pace of technological change is harnessed for their benefit—for their future and ours.
The progress we’ve made this year with help from you, our supporters and funders, has shaped the conversation around safe and ethical media and technology use and led people to action. Our work continues. Together, we will ensure a better future for our kids and families.
3 RESEARCH
Independent research is critical to a fact-based dialogue around kids’ digital well-being.
The Common Sense Research Program drives conversation about kids’ media use and healthy development.

At this point, it is a key parenting tool for us. We just check any unfamiliar movie or show or app first. I have avoided some big pitfalls thanks to Common Sense.”
— Jason B. in Ladera Ranch, California
“I love and trust Common Sense Media. It’s so sane and provides consistently helpful information to guide parents in decisions that make sense for their family values. It sometimes seems that MPAA ratings are all about monitoring swearing and sex. As a parent, I’m personally much more concerned about violence, misogyny, racism in the media my tweens might consume than in making sure they never see characters in bed or hear someone say the F word. Common Sense provides the tools to help me make the decisions that make sense for my specific children given their emerging values, their maturity levels, and their interests.”

— Marcia E. in Mooreville, North Carolina
Our professional learning networks elevate teacher voices.
With team members across the country providing personalized support and a community-centered online professional learning network, particularly for school districts in under-resourced areas, Common Sense has cultivated deep relationships with schools that have led to more educators trained in digital citizenship and effective classroom tech use. Our regional outreach allows us to establish strong partnerships with districts to pilot new programs, evaluate our impact, and foster strong school- home connections to help parents and teachers raise a generation of digital citizens. We are transforming whole communities through our direct work with schools and providing families with guidance on how to deal with increasingly pervasive concerns like cyberbullying and mitigating screen time at home. The result is millions of students learning how to think critically about the media they create and consume every day while practicing healthy digital habits both in school and at home.
What’s next for Common Sense Education
Our new Digital Citizenship Curriculum includes expanded news literacy lessons to help students develop the dispositions of a critical consumer and responsible citizen. We are also synthesizing the best practices and models we’ve gathered over the past few years to help guide educators in implementing digital citizenship.

19 ADVOCACY
As changes in media and technology accelerate, laws and policies that empower kids, families, and consumers lag behind.
Common Sense Kids Action champions reforms that help families thrive in today’s society.
Since the launch of our digital well-being campaign in February 2018, major tech companies (including Facebook, Google, and Apple) have introduced product changes such as digital well-being and screen time tools that support reforms that are in kids’ and families’ interests.
In 2018, for the 2018–2019 legislative session, Common Sense rated 51 bills “For Kids” and scored lawmakers on their votes to support these kid-and-family-friendly proposals. Nearly two-thirds of these bills were signed into law.
20 We also sponsored two first-in-the-nation laws in California, one regulating connected devices by requiring manufacturers to include, by 2020, reasonable security In 2018 we supported policy reforms requirements, the other mandating that bots (automated and industry solutions for a healthier accounts) be identified as fake on social media to digital ecosystem. make consumers better aware of misinformation and cyberbullying.
