The Making of Citizens: Pedagogy and Address in Children's Television News.

Buckingham, David

Journal of Educational Media, v23 n2-3 p119-39 Oct 1997

This paper offers a comparative analysis of three television news programs aimed at children: the BBC's "Newsround," Nickelodeon's "Nick News," and "Channel One News." Focuses on implicit assumptions about the child viewer, and on the ways in which these are manifested in the selection and framing of content and in their formal strategies and modes of address.
