  • Improving Educational and Informational Television for Children: When the Marketplace Fails
    Improving Educational and Informational Television For Children: When the Marketplace Fails Bruce Watkins* American children view an average of four hours of television per day,' a total of approximately 15,000 hours by the time they reach age 18. No single activity except sleep occupies as much of their time.2 For children, television content is entertaining and educa- tional; the medium imparts many messages to children about soci- ety, its values, and its expectations.
