Fox Television Holdings, Inc. (“Fox”) hereby replies to the comments submitted by the Children’s Media Policy Coalition (the “Coalition”) in the above-captioned proceeding.1 In its comments, the Coalition acknowledges that broadcast licensees have increased the amount of children’s educational programming available over-the-air, in furtherance of Congress’ goals in the Children’s Television Act (“CTA”).2 The Coalition also notes that broadcasters generally are providing viewers with at least three hours per week of core children’s educational/informational programming, as called for by the Commission’s license renewal processing guideline.3 Fox’s experience as the owner of licensees of 35 full-power television stations correlates strongly with the Coalition’s overall findings. Fox consistently broadcasts an average of at least three hours per week of core children’s educational programming, and Fox chooses its core educational programs with care, taking reasonable steps not only to ensure that its selections further the educational and emotional development of the children in its communities, but also to make certain that its core programs are as attractive to their target audiences as possible. Like other broadcasters, Fox takes seriously its obligation to serve the needs of children in its 1 See In re Status of Children’s Television Programming, Comments filed by the Children’s Media Policy Coalition, MB Docket No. 00-167, dated September 4, 2007.

UNIVERSITY MICROFILMS PREFACE Difficulties become apparent in the historical compilation of this single categorical concept of educa­ tion when one considers the multi-faceted educational elements of specialization which are germane to each occupational area. Problems of gathering early voca­ tional trade and industrial research materials have been magnified as a result of incomplete or missing records because of carelessness, deaths and personnel turnover. This writer has been made aware of the fact that authen­ ticated historical documentation is extremely important to all educational areas, if for no other reason than that it creates a solid foundation upon which one may project or build toward the future. Those of us in vocational education submit that this type of education builds a bridge to a more meaning­ ful future heretofore reserved only for those with pro­ fessional aspirations. We, in turn, contend that voca­ tional education is an answer to the complex ramifica­ tions which have evolved from increased patterns of world-wide technological changes and population growth never experienced by any previous culture.

  • Trabalho De Conclusão De Curso “Homoafetividade Na TV: Análise Das Séries Queer As Folk, the L Word E Looking”4
    Intercom – Sociedade Brasileira de Estudos Interdisciplinares da Comunicação XXXVIII Congresso Brasileiro de Ciências da Comunicação – Rio de Janeiro - RJ – 4 a 7/9/2015 Homoafetividade na TV: análise do casal Brian e Justin na série Queer As Folk1 Daniel Silveira da CRUZ2 Fabio Sadao NAKAGAWA3 Universidade Federal da Bahia, Salvador, Bahia Resumo O presente artigo analisa como os relacionamentos homoafetivos são representados em séries de televisão americanas. A pesquisa toma como objeto de análise o casal Brian e Justin de Queer As Folk. Com base em diferentes teóricos, os conceitos homossexualidade, homoerotismo e o termo homoafetividade colaboram para entender as definições acerca da atração por pessoas do mesmo sexo. Além disso, lançamos mãos da literatura sobre televisão, abordando as narrativas seriadas e um breve histórico sobre os personagens gays na TV. Palavras-chave: Queer as Folk; Homoafetividade; Homossexualidade; Séries televisuais Introdução O presente artigo é um recorte da pesquisa para o Trabalho de Conclusão de Curso “Homoafetividade na TV: análise das séries Queer As Folk, The L Word e Looking”4. O estudo foi realizado com as primeiras temporadas das séries citadas a fim de responder a questão: como são representados os casais homoafetivos em séries de TV americanas? Ou seja, de que maneira os afetos entre casais homossexuais são construídos pelas narrativas serializadas americanas? Neste artigo, abordaremos a construção da homoafetividade no casal Brian Kinney e Justin Taylor usando como corpus a primeira temporada de Queer As Folk. A série lançada em 2000 foi exibida originalmente no canal Showtime, nos Estados Unidos e no canal Showcase, no Canadá. Mostra, em cinco temporadas, histórias dos amigos gays Brian Kinney (Gale Harold), Michael Novotony (Hal Sparks), Emmet Honeycutt (Peter Page), Ted Schmidt (Scot Lowell) e Justin Taylor (Randy Harrison).

  • Introduction: Placing the Self Within the Frame 1 New Storytelling
    Notes Introduction: Placing the Self within the Frame 1. This is performed by the Mamas and the Papas (see Chapter 6). 2. For various opinions on the potential of textual analysis see Childs (2006), Kovala (2008) and McKee (2003). 3. Although Gwen Haworth’s documentary is relevant to lesbian discourse, as Haworth, a male to female transsexual, expresses lesbian desire, I have not included this work in my book, as the focus is largely transsexual. Despite this, Haworth’s documentary is highly contiguous to the theoretical ideas expressed within this book, concerning self-reflexive narrative expression and sexual diversity. 4. Also there are still laws which oppress non-heterosexuals within the Western world. 5. It is important to note that this often includes production funding from Anglocentric sources, which bears its own implications of textual influence. 1 New Storytelling: Transitions from the Past 1. Howard Auster had changed his name to Howard Austen early in his career, on advice from Gore Vidal to avoid advertising his Jewish identity at a time when it was hard to obtain work as a Jew (Vidal, 1995). In Gore Vidal’s mem- oir, Howard’s name is restored to the original spelling; hence I have adopted it here. 2. I use the term ‘literature’ in the general sense as ‘serious writing’, esteemed by authority such as academia. 3. I am only discussing the media of radio in this chapter, as a precursor to later developments in television, film and new media through the World Wide Web. 4. It is important to note that in some non-Western countries conversely homo- sexuality under certain circumstances may be considered to offer positive myths.
