Hello,
I realise that this was not directed at everyone; however as co-president
of the Association for Media Literacy in Quebec, doctoral student looking
at the impact of media literacy curriculum on the 'literate behaviour' of
at-risk high school students (near completion) and as a media literacy high
school teacher, I would be interested in a copy as you describe above. I
would gladly reimburse you for mailing it directly to:
Lee Rother

Thank you.
Lee

>>Hello,
>>Its Ruth Zanker here from New Zealand. I have
>>been given the job of reviewing the funding of
>>children's television by the funding body NZ On
>>Air here in New Zealand. I have to do it on a
>>very tight time line and I would like to do a
>>good job with some assistance from you. (It
>>takes me away from writing up my research....and
>>I would probably prefer to be reading Ellen
>>Seiter's new book but it is a great opportunity
>>that could not be turned down!) This has become
>>a somewhat urgent task as we in NZ are at an
>>interesting cross-roads between extreme
>>deregulation and possible reregulation in the
>>media.
>>
>>After a decade of a very deregulated
>>broadcasting system for children(see my article
>>in the recent issue of Media International
>>Australia) we appear to be changing tack in
>>quite radical ways in the wake of a Labour
>>victory at the last elections in November.
>>Labour won the election with a slate of policies
>>including quotas, charters for the state owned
>>broadcaster (which up to now has had to deliver
>>a profit to the government rather than cultural
>>outcomes...no pbs here!) and poss. banning of
>>advertising (good 'ole Sweden has really got
>>some people going!)
>>
>>
>>My report requires me to attend to both current
>>funding frameworks as well as issues further out
>>(like quotas... but NOZ signed away local audio
>>visual trade in GATT). AND of course it needs to
>>at least paint the picture of tensions of
>>globalization/localization, consumer/citizen and
>>convergence!!!
>>
>>We live in interesting times. The problem is
>>that most of the current debate in NZ is in
>>terms of adults and rings with familiar Reithian
>>pulpit sounds. Media rights for children in an
>>increasingly interactive multi-media age require
>>a more complex response in this report....but
>>still discussed in ways that are institutionally
>>useful to an organization like NZ on Air funding
>>TELEVISION programmes in a small English
>>speaking country.
>>
>>It is an interesting time in which to be writing
>>a down to earth report on how better to spend 9
>>million dollars on children's programming.
>>
>>
>>My report is designed to deliver up to date
>>material on what is delivered in other countries
>>and then consider certain questions of interest
>>to the funding board. Some of these relate to
>>the big picture of global changes, others to
>>quite specific child centred issues.
>>
>>I am looking for several bits of ready made data
>>if possible. There is no time to comb through
>>web-sites and collate it.This report is due in 3
>>weeks!!!
>>1. Summaries of local content for children/ by
>>age group and genre/scheduling for children (I
>>have Hargraves for Broadcasting Standards)
>>2. How the funding mix is decided: early
>>childhood, primary, youth. BBC has a
>>commissioning editor I see. Does ITV?
>>3. Current issues for Producers with the
>>commissioning process
>>4. The mix of 'bread and butter' production and
>>innovative, 'prestige'.
>>5. Current issues for researchers.
>>6. Squabbles over quality( I have Ishikawa's
>>book on Broadcasting Quality)
>>7. Who currently is consulted about the mix?
>>8. How are satisfaction levels measured (other
>>than ratings)? Parents/
>>children/producers/researchers.
>>9. Advertising dollars on children's programmes
>>10. Dollars spent on children's programmes
>>(contribution of licencing issues too)
>>(We spend $9million of licence fee on Childrens
>>programmes in New Zealand)
>>Any thing else that may help me with this
>>process ????Many thanks Ruth
