Television

The television is a fact of modern life. It plays a major part of almost all households today.

Babysitter. Teacher. Friend. Parent. It’s television! And along with other media, it’s helping to raise the world’s children.

Get Media Smart provides a wealth of resources to learn and practice new ways of helping parents and their children interact with these powerful influences in their lives.

The television, out of all the popular media forms, illustrates the power of mass communication to inform, educate and influence the masses.

The television is no longer part of our culture, it is our culture. We, therefore, need to manage our children’s time wisely and ensure that what they are viewing they are supposed to be viewing.
