Parental control of television broadcasting

Description:

"This volume considers the role of parents in controlling television programs watched by children. Originating out of a study performed for the European Commission by the Programme in Comparative Media Law and Policy (PCMLP), this report examines parental monitoring and control of access to broadcast programming. Conducted in countries across Europe, the study crossed media, national boundaries, and technologies to consider possible directions for public policy.". "As a comprehensive snapshot of the technologies and systems available to monitor and control children's television use in the European community, this report serves both as a benchmark of the current level of control and as a foundation from which to consider future media policy and regulation considerations. It will be of great interest to scholars and students in comparative media studies, media policy, and regulation, as well as to policymakers, regulators, and others interested in the rating and control of media content."--BOOK JACKET.
