Description
Designed to increase adults' understanding of television and to develop their critical viewing skills, this text explores persuasion and presentation techniques, the programming policy of television stations, and potential effects of violence, sex, and commercials on the viewer. Also presents critical awareness exercises. The book does not advocate turning off the set, but, rather, encourages self-control.
