FOR YOUR
Special Examination of its Own Medium
Watching television may lead to
anti-social behavior, obesity, gender
and racial stereotyping and a lack of
self esteem. These are the conclusions
of a report released February 25th by
the American Psychological Associa­
tion. Yet, television is more deeply
ingrained in our culture than ever. Na­
tionwide, two-thirds of Americans now
depend on television as their primary
source of news. Sixty-eight percent of
Portland’s homes have two or more
TVs and 75% have VCRs. Television is
popular, but is it good for you?
The average child witnesses thou­
sands of TV murders before finishing
elementary school, leading critics to
believe TV has desensitized us to vio­
lence. Political observes wonder how
well television informs the electorate.
They note that the average soundbite of
presidential candidates has been short­
ened from 42 seconds in 1968 to 10
seconds in 1988. Others criticize TV’s
abundant sexual messages and say TV
still needs to improve its portrayal of
women and minorities.
Defenders of the medium point to
its ability to communicate visually and
immediately, and its capacity for con­
necting us to unfamiliar people and
countries. They say TV is democratic -
if people don’t watch, programs won’t
last. They say television reflects the
interests of society.
Is there too much sex and violence
on TV? If television is a mirror of our
society, do we like what we see? How
much of the message is the medium
responsible for? What does TV do bet­
ter than other media? What does it do
worse? How can viewers sift the best
from the rest?
Join Jack Faust and his guests
for this special 500th broadcast of
Town Hall on Sunday, M arch 22,
from 6-7 PM. For seat reservations,
please call Frank Mungeam, Alison
Highberger, Liza McQuade or Lynn
