Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Children´s Television: Hearing Before the Subcommittee on Telecommunications and Finance of the Committee on Energy and Commerce, House of Representatives, One Hundred Third Congress, Second Session, June 10, 1994 The subcommittee met, pursuant to notice, at 9:45 a.m., in room 2123, Rayburn House Office Building, Hon. Edward J. Markey (chairman) presiding. Mr. Markey. Good morning and welcome to the Subcommittee on Telecommunications and Finance oversight hearing on the Children´s Television Act. Last year this subcommittee held its first oversight hearing on the Act. We heard testimony that many licensees were complying with the Act by redefining existing programs as educational. The Flintstones taught about life in prehistoric times, those simpler times when small creatures served as vacuum cleaners and garbage disposals. Maybe there really was a Grand Poobah. The Jetsons taught about life in the 21st century. We all grew up watching these programs. There is no doubt that kids love them, but they are not educational. The Children´s Television Act was designed to increase the choices for children, to give parents and families the possibility of finding educational programming to supplement the Ninja Turtles. Young children in this country spend almost 4 hours a day watching television on average. By the end of high school, they will have spent far more time watching television than in the classroom. While television cannot be expected to be the primary educator of children, it has a critical influence on their lives, and broadcasters have a special obligation to meet the educational needs of children under the law. We are here today to review their compliance with that law. The Children´s Television Act of 1990 gives parents and citizens a role in increasing the amount of educational children´s programming. The bill requires television broadcasters to serve not only the general audience but the special child audience with programs designed specifically to meet the educational and informational needs of children. Parents can then direct their children´s viewing to these programs. The law is not about who controls the clicker but about the number and diversity of programs available to the Nation´s children.
