Constructing the Child Viewer

- A History of the American Discourse on Television and Children, 1950-1980

About Constructing the Child Viewer

The book concludes that historical concepts of the child television viewer are products of discourse and cannot be taken to reflect objective, scientific truths about the child viewer. Widely disseminated constructs of the passive viewer, the active viewer, the interactive viewer, and the media literate viewer are seen as problematic.
