    Analiza televizijskih programa za decu u Srbiji Novembar 2014. 2 Zahvalnica Udruženje novinara Srbije i UNICEF Srbija zahvaljuju se saradnicama koje su radile na ovoj analizi: novinarki Dragani Pejović, koja je analizirala dečiji televizijski program, razgovarala sa urednicima televizija i uobličila analizu i novinarki Kristini Kovač, koja je istraživala regulativu u regionu, zemljama Evropske unije i praksu tamošnjih regulatornih tela i emitera, prof. dr. Ani Pešikan i Jeleni Joksimović koje su analizirale stavove i mišljenja dece i roditelja o televizijskih programima namenjenim deci. Dugujemo im zahvalnost zbog posvećenog rada i truda koji su uložile kako bi analiza bila sveobuhvatna i korisna televizijskim emiterima, regulatornim telima, stručnoj javnosti, a na dobrobit dece i njihovih roditelja. Posebno se zahvaljujemo Regulatornom telu za elektronske medije Srbije zbog mogućnosti korišćenja podataka 24-časovnog nadzora (redovnog monitoringa) televizija sa nacionalnom frekvencijom i Agenciji Nielsen Audience Measurement koja nam je omogućila korišćenje podataka o gledanosti dečijih programa. Veliku zahvalnost dugujemo Ministrastvu prosvete, nauke i tehnološkog razvoja, posebno Biljani Lajović, koordinatorki Jedinice za prevenciju nasilja u Ministarstvu, osnovnim školama „Sveti Sava“ i „Sreten Mladenović Mika“ iz Niša, „Jelica Milovanović“ iz Sopota, „Petefi Šandor“ i „Ivo Lola Ribar“ iz Novog Sada, „Mihajlo Pupin“ iz Veternika, „Veljko Petrović“ iz Begeča“, „Vožd Karađorđe“ iz Jakova, „M.P. Alas“ i „Lazar Savatić“ iz Beograda. Bez njihove pomoći ne bismo došli do velikog broja dragocenih ispitanika – dece i roditelja, čije učestvovanje i odgovori su od posebnog značaja za utvrđivanje stanja i unapređenje ponude i kvaliteta televizijskih programa za decu u Srbiji, što je krajnji cilj ove analize. 3 4 I VAŽNOST UTICAJA TELEVIZIJE KAO MEDIJA 1.

The year before I had listened with excitement to the launch of our local commercial station, Liverpool's Radio City, and wanted to find out what other stations I might be able to pick up. In those days the Guide covered TV as well as radio, which could only manage to fill two pages – but then there were only 19 “ILR” stations.
