ANNUAL REPORT 2015 16_A70_TV_Acad_Ad.qxp_Layout 1 7/8/16 11:43 AM Page 1 PROUD MEMBER OF »CBS THE TELEVISION ACADEMY 2 ©2016 CBS Broadcasting Inc. MESSAGE FROM THE CHAIRMAN AND CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER AS THE QUANTITY AND QUALITY OF CONTENT HAVE INCREASED in what is widely regarded as television’s second Golden Age, so have employment opportunities for the talented men and women who create that programming. And as our industry, and the content we produce, have become more relevant, so has the relevance of the Television Academy increased as an essential resource for television professionals. In 2015, this was reflected in the steady rise in our membership — surpassing 20,000 for the first time in our history — as well as the expanding slate of Academy-sponsored activities and the heightened attention paid to such high-profile events as the Television Academy Honors and, of course, the Creative Arts Awards and the Emmy Awards. Navigating an industry in the midst of such profound change is both exciting and, at times, a bit daunting. Reimagined models of production and distribution — along with technological innovations and the emergence of new over-the-top platforms — have led to a seemingly endless surge of creativity, and an array of viewing options. As the leading membership organization for television professionals and home to the industry’s most prestigious award, the Academy is committed to remaining at the vanguard of all aspects of television. Toward that end, we are always evaluating our own practices in order to stay ahead of industry changes, and we are proud to guide the conversation for television’s future generations.

2 a Quotation of Normality – the Family Myth 3 'C'mon Mum, Monday
Notes 2 A Quotation of Normality – The Family Myth 1 . A less obvious antecedent that The Simpsons benefitted directly and indirectly from was Hanna-Barbera’s Wait ‘til Your Father Gets Home (NBC 1972–1974). This was an attempt to exploit the ratings successes of Norman Lear’s stable of grittier 1970s’ US sitcoms, but as a stepping stone it is entirely noteworthy through its prioritisation of the suburban narrative over the fantastical (i.e., shows like The Flintstones , The Jetsons et al.). 2 . Nelvana was renowned for producing well-regarded production-line chil- dren’s animation throughout the 1980s. It was extended from the 1960s studio Laff-Arts, and formed in 1971 by Michael Hirsh, Patrick Loubert and Clive Smith. Its success was built on a portfolio of highly commercial TV animated work that did not conform to a ‘house-style’ and allowed for more creative practice in television and feature projects (Mazurkewich, 1999, pp. 104–115). 3 . The NBC US version recast Feeble with the voice of The Simpsons regular Hank Azaria, and the emphasis shifted to an American living in England. The show was pulled off the schedules after only three episodes for failing to connect with audiences (Bermam, 1999, para 3). 4 . Aardman’s Lab Animals (2002), planned originally for ITV, sought to make an ironic juxtaposition between the mistreatment of animals as material for scientific experiment and the direct commentary from the animals them- selves, which defines the show. It was quickly assessed as unsuitable for the family slot that it was intended for (Lane, 2003 p.

Medyada Şiddet; Televizyon Çizgi Diziler Üzerine Bir İnceleme*1
Ç.Ü. Sosyal Bilimler Enstitüsü Dergisi, Cilt 25, Sayı 1, 2016, Sayfa 43-58 Medyada Şiddet; Televizyon Çizgi Diziler Üzerine Bir İnceleme*1 Nüket Elpeze Ergeç** Murat Ertan Doğan*** Özet İzleyici araştırmaları televizyon yayın içeriklerinin, izleyiciler üzerinde değer sistemlerinin oluşumunda ve davranışların biçimlenmesinde güçlü bir etkiye sahip olduğunu göstermektedir. Şiddetin sadece haber, dizi ve magazin programlarının yanında, çocuk kanallarında da önemli boyutta olduğu gözlemlenmektedir. Şiddetin öğrenilen bir davranış olduğuna vurgu yapan Riches (1989), şiddet eylemi sosyal gerçekliği pratik anlamda dönüştürmeyi hedefleyen ve bunu yaparken de içinde bulunduğu sosyalliğin düşünsel durumunu sergileyen bir yapıya sahip olduğunu belirtmektedir. Şiddetin kişiler üzerinde bir tepkisizlik yarattığı, giderek şiddetin problemleri çözmede bir yol olarak kabul edildiği, televizyonda izlenen şiddetin taklit edildiği ve televizyondaki karakterler ile şiddet gören arasında özdeşleşme kurulduğuna dair çok sayıda çalışma bulunmaktadır (Wilson vd, 2002; Kirsh, 2006). Bu çalışma, medya üzerinden çocuğun maruz kaldığı şiddete ilişkin yeniden düşünmeyi amaçlamaktadır. Çalışma kapsamında Türkiye’de ulusal çapta yayın yapan özel bir çocuk televizyon kanalının bir haftalık yayın akışında yer alan 24 farklı çizgi dizideki şiddet öğesi incelenmiş ve bu öğeler sınıflandırılmıştır. Araştırma sonunda örneklem kapsamındaki dizileri izleyen çocukların, ortalama her 40 saniyede bir şiddet içeren eyleme maruz kaldığı bulgulanmıştır. Elde edilen bulgular sonucunda çalışma, çocukların televizyon izlerken şiddetin etkilerinden korunma yollarının birçok farklı disiplinlerle işbirliği ile uzun soluklu çalışmalarla önlenebileceğini çözüm olarak sunmuştur. Anahtar Kelime: çocuk, şiddet, medya, televizyon Violence in the Media; Review on the Television Cartoon Series Abstract Studies show television has a crucial impact on children’s development of value systems and forming of behaviors. Violence occurs not only in news, magazine programs and TV series but in children’s television channels.
