摘要:In the midst of the ethical debates about Channel One TV, the issue of its unique and heightened media effect has been minimized even though this is one of the more significant disadvantages of this corporate-based news program. I situate the findings of this meta-analysis with the greater societal dialogue concerning corporate-public school partnerships. In this essay, I argue that the unique media effect produced by Channel One should be a greater part of the debate as principals and teachers are considering whether to include Channel One into their classrooms. I also argue that college media literacy courses for elementary education majors should give case-specific information about Channel One's media effects.
