LOS ANGELES - The Association of Sites Advocating Child Protection (ASACP) has just released a new video featuring CEO Joan Irvine being interviewed on the Channel 8 News in Washington D.C. on May 29, 2008. The interview is now available for viewing at http://www.youtube.com/ASACPRTA.
Last month Irvine travelled to Washington to help kick off Internet Safety Month with a press conference at the National Press Club. Stormy Daniels, contract performer, writer and director with Wicked Pictures, and Joy King, Vice President of Special Projects for Wicked Pictures also participated in the press conference which highlighted the success of the RTA "Restricted to Adults" website label. After the press conference Irvine was interviewed on News Channel 8 where she discussed the efforts by the adult entertainment industry to protect children from age-inappropriate content online
"Many people believe that the adult entertainment industry wants corrupt children, not protect them," said Irvine. "ASACP has worked diligently to let people know that is simply not the case, being interviewed on News Channel 8 helped me to share that message with viewers throughout the D.C. area."
In the interview, Irvine also discussed the Parental Control Bar. The Parental Control Bar is a free online software developed by the Website Rating and Advisory Council (WRAAC) that helps concerned parents prevent their children from accessing adult-oriented websites. WRAAC co-sponsored the press conference.
Also available for viewing on ASACP's YouTube Channel are highlights from the 2007 RTA Press Conference and public service announcements (PSA) which were produced by ASACP and feature Stormy Daniels. A video featuring highlights from the 2008 RTA Press Conference will be released later this year.
