children’s books and magazines paper, Where to?
Prepared by: Global humanitarian Pivot for the Study of Childhood and researches.
The realistic view to the world of paper gives us the following sensations, if the beholder is an older people who have spent most of their lives in dealing with the world of paper, it will remain longing to his world, which is melting before his eyes, and if the beholder is a middle-aged who have spent times here and times there , the feelings may be mixed, but lucky; because he is fluent in dealing with the worlds – paper and electronics – to the same extent, but if the beholder is a child of the generation that opened his eyes to the electronic world, the world of paper does not mean any thing to him only a historical stage is still friendly to him in some school courses.
Also, the realistic look to books and children’s magazines paper will not be pleased of the beholder, and will not be gone. only a small number of specialists writers writing for children who have won wide fame continues to drive people to run behind their creations even if issued a framework paper.
In general, children’s paper books and magazines is not okay. In Jordan, for example, we find about three magazines is faltering among twenty licensed magazine competent to children, some of them did not see the light until for one echoes.
Director of public relations in the pivot Ms. Maram Rakhmon noted that the magazines and books paper for children, often is used as gifts among the people, or grants and gifts by those interested in childhood and its institutions, but there is a small percentage of children or parents who are turning to buy books and magazines for children from specialized libraries. and when one owner of these libraries was asked. he replied that there is a big difference between the sales these days and the percentage increase in the past, and the paper Book of the Child and magazines in constant decline.
Ms. Rakhmon noted that it is not the world of the Internet alone, which stands in the way of the paper magazine and children’s book, but also the high costs of the paper book devoted to children is what limits its spread; so that the children’s books need to covers with colorful graphics, at a time when most people excel reluctant to provide adequate support to these institutions.
Executive Director of the Pivot Dr. Ismail Alaqtash, thinks that the popularity of paper magazine and book submitted to the child is in universally decline , but the difference lies in the percentages, if it is measured by the turnout on magazines and books specialized in childhood of the Europeans we will find that it can not be compared to what is found at the Arabs; the Arabic numbers in this direction is very embarrassing even before the strong appearance of the world-mail, and since then to this day and the embarrassment is growing .
Dr. Ahmed Al Nuaimi, Chairman of the Board said: “The global humanitarian Pivot for the Childhood studies and researches will stimulate in many areas, including in the field of translation of children’s books, but this translation need to provide appropriate support on one hand. and the communication with the authors for legal proceedings on the other hand, you also need to choose the right translator who knows the language of the dictionary of child according to different age stages.
dr. Naimi assured that the Pivot is determined to fulfill its leadership role in the world of childhood without fear or hesitation or hands trembling. so that humanity without a future full of hope for the children and youth of this day, will sink in darkness; and one of the main reasons why the Pivot puts on his diarya document entitled: “Childhood of the future house and The ascension of life. “
Bottom line: Yes, we need to revisit the paper books and magazines for children. because reading by eyes is not enough. many of the paper books and magazines for children. leaves the child the freedom to contribute to color the picture, or some specific words.
