Book Description
How are women and ethnic minorities portrayed on television? What effect does television violence have on viewers -- on children in particular? Can television play a positive role in society? How should the industry be regulated?

These are just some of the controversial questions posed by media researchers, programmers, critics and policy-makers in this important volume. The contributors also consider: how to interpret and implement television's trusteeship role; how racial and gender stereotyping can be avoided; whether television companies, aiming to attract large audiences, seek the lowest common denominator in their programming; and how social science research can contribute to media policy and television programming.
