At a pivotal moment in the history of broadcast media, a coalition of parents, educators, researchers, and policymakers gathered for the first national symposium dedicated to a single, urgent question: what is television doing to America's children? Action for Children's Television presents the full proceedings of this landmark event, chronicling the passionate debates and expert testimony surrounding the powerful influence of TV programming and advertising on young, impressionable minds. The volume details the growing national concern over the commercialization of children's media, the psychological impact of advertising targeted at minors, and the urgent call for regulatory reform. A significant document in the history of media criticism and child advocacy, this anthology captures the birth of a movement that would go on to reshape broadcasting standards in the United States. The contributors argue with conviction and evidence, illustrating a society beginning to grapple with the responsibilities that come with the unchecked power of mass media. Reading these proceedings today, one is struck by how prescient the concerns raised truly were — and how the questions first asked in that symposium room remain startlingly unresolved.
