PRIMEDIA/About.com’s Teen Advice Site Tells Teens If They
Are Ready For Sex – Channel One Heavily Advertising About.com to Schoolchildren


Channel One is slowly integrating
itself with its recently acquired sister company, About.com. Channel
One’s parent company, PRIMEDIA, Inc., completed their merger with
About.com in early March. Channel One is to advertise and pitch
About.com’s teen-related sites on their in-school TV show, Channel
One News, and on the Channel One web site.

Already articles created by Channel One are showing up on About.com. Press releases by PRIMEDIA indicate that About.com will blend its company with the non-Internet companies already owned by PRIMEDIA.

Here is a sample of the recklessness content on About.com’s Teen Advice site. We have reported on this site before and were lead to believe that significant changes would occur.
