Media Economics
With the rapid change in the structure and value of media industries in recent years, understanding the mechanics of such change is crucial to provide insight into the processes reproducing contemporary trends in media economics, rather than simply documenting historical patterns. Editors Alison Alexander, James Owers, and Rodney Carveth have included contributions here that address the concerns of media economics, the techniques of economic and …

Quality Standards in Children's Programming
There is no standard definition for "quality children's programming" currently. This study sought to build from the work of Alexander, Hoerrner, and Duke (1998) and others in constructing a standardized definition. The Alexander et al. study defined the television industry's definition of quality. This project analyzed the attributes of the shows used in the 1998 study to determine if the content actually contained the aspects of quality stated b…
What is Quality Children's Television
The project described in this article takes the first step toward defining the construct of quality children's television by empirically analyzing how the industry defines quality. Our goal was to explore the characteristics of the best of children's programming to determine the characteristics of a quality product. Our data were drawn from the archives of the George Foster Peabody Awards to study all the award-winning programs in the children's …

Adolescents, VCRs, and the Family Environment
With the rapid diffusion of the VCR into the home media environment, a central question is whether the special features of the VCR lead to transformations in the family, or whether preexisting family relationships and media orientations determine the uses of the VCR and its role in the family. This study, using cross-sectional and longitudinal data from adolescents, suggests that VCRs mainly augment and extend family television patterns and that …
Textual Status, the Stigmatized Self, and Media Consumption
This chapter develops and explores the interaction among [farce concepts: textual status, the assumption of media texts, and the way in which an individual’s preference Cor low-status texts such as soap operas may stigmatize the self in communicative contexts where texts are encountered as subjects of talk and not just as objects viewed, heard, or read
Creating a learning context
By exploring the nature of siblings' verbal interaction in the television‐viewing situation, this research examines a learning context that is created during coviewing. Data were obtained from a case study of a single sibling pair and a participant observation study of 51 children from 24 families. Examination of the form and content of siblings' interaction corroborates the basic assumption that children play an active role in interpreting the t…
The Mass Media Environment of Children
An Investigation of Eye Gaze and Its Relation to Selected Verbal Behavior
Eye gaze avoidance is examined in relation to the occurrence of turn-taking, vocalized pauses, sentence changes, repetitions, “you know,”“like,” sentence fragments, simple sentences, and complex sentences. The results provide support for the hypothesis that people avoid eye gaze when experiencing difficulty in encoding. This finding is discussed in relation to previous research and possible implications for the study of interpersonal communicatio…
