Channel One, an electronic curriculum that was developed primarily to sell products in the marketplace, is cablecast daily to approximately twelve-thousand public high schools in the United States. About one quarter of our public secondary schools have been wired by Whittle Communications, a private company, for the delivery of this required news program. This translates to a captive audience for advertisements of around eight- to nine-million teens.
The political, economic, social, and cognitive impact of Channel One will be vast. How did school board members and administrators arrive at the decision to include Channel One in their districts? What is the form and content of news and advertising on Channel One? Do students pay attention to the news? To the ads? Do students learn from Channel One? These questions, among others, are addressed in this book. By employing various forms of discourse analyses, critical theory, rhetorical analysis, structural and post-structural readings, descriptive case studies, and traditional-effects studies, the authors provide a thorough investigation into Channel One.

Store description
Inklings is a small used bookstore in Bedford, Indiana founded and run by public school teachers. Our brick and mortar store opened in 2012 and we are just now getting into online sales. While we want to maintain a presence in our local community, it is becoming apparent that we are going to have to branch out in order to stay viable. We want to offer our customers hard-to-find books at great prices. If you ever have any troubles, please call us or email and we will do everything we can to make sure you are satisfied. We are open Wednesday through Saturday each and every week from 12p, to 7pm, so please plan your calls accordingly. We want to thank you for your business and your trust in us. We hope you'll come back and look often as we plan on adding books just about everyday for as long as we can.…
