Publicity

Increase the frequency of TV and radio APIs on COIAO and advertise TELA's complaint hotline (2676 7676) in newspapers so as to facilitate the public to make complaints.

Publicise measures against pornographic articles on special radio and TV programmes, including the Police Magazine.

Public Education

Give talks on the COIAO to schools, concerned groups and youth

centres.

Promote the awareness of news vendors, bookshop operators and video/computer shop operators of the provisions in the COIAO. Advisory letters and leaflets will also be distributed.

"We hope that through our intensive efforts, there will be increased public awareness of the problem of access to pornographic materials by young people," Mr Chan said.

He also appealed to schools and parents to give more guidance to children in the choice of leisure readings.
