The author discusses how educational goals are translated into the actual television programming of Sesame Street. Dr. Lesser serves as chairman of the National Board of Advisors to the Children's Television Workshop, which produces Sesame Street. He reflects here on the experience of researchers and television producers working together to develop television for children on the basis of knowledge (and hunches) about how children learn.

The Canadian Broadcast Standards Council (CBSC) is an independent, non-governmental organization created by the Canadian Association of Broadcasters to administer broadcast codes dealing with issues of ethics, stereotypes and portrayal, journalistic ethics and violence on television, among others. As of the end of 2011 (the period dealt with in this chapter), the CBSC had rendered 505 Panel decisions, which have served to define the parameters of permissible (and excessive) content on a broad array of radio and television programming, including news, public affairs, magazine format television shows, radio and television talk shows, children's television, other dramatic forms, and so on. In many of the foregoing types of programming, complaints pertain to representations and discussions of religious issues and religious groups. This chapter addresses the nature of the complaints received with particular relevance to religion, religious communities, and discourses.

Pediatrician advocacy concerning the impact of television violence on children should be clearly grounded in the holistic concern of pediatricians with children's health and well-being. Pediatricians should not promote legislative or regulatory efforts to reduce children's exposure to television violence by proscribing certain kinds of program content. Instead, priority should be given to strategies that improve the content and quality of television programming viewed by children and that enhance the viewing choices made by children and their families. Such strategies include providing parent education and pressing for strong implementation of the Children's Television Act. Pediatricians should dedicate their efforts to increasing the awareness of broadcasters and the general public, acting as educators and persuaders. In order to advocate and educate effectively, pediatricians need to amplify their own knowledge and understanding of television-related issues and their significance. Finally, because children's exposure to television violence is but one part of a larger social context, pediatricians concerned with this issue should devote significant attention to related problems that diminish the health and well-being of children.

An examination was carried out of television programs made for children and also television programs that involved children, regardless of their intended audience. The aim of the study was to determine the effects of these programs in terms of gender and race representations and stereotypes. A content analysis was run on segments from two television channels, the Kuwait national channel and the Egyptian satellite channel. Findings are given and discussed against a rich background of research in this area, and conclusions and implications for education are presented.
