FIRST LADY HILLARY RODHAM CLINTON
REMARKS FOR WHITE HOUSE MEDIA CONFERENCE
JULY 29, 1996
TALKING POINTS
We all know television is a fact of life. It is also
tremendously powerful medium that touches all of our lives -
-
and has a particularly profound influence on our children.
This segment of our discussion is about that influence.
As the President has pointed out, the technology of
television is not intrinsically good or bad. Television has
the potential to be a powerful force for good in our
children's lives. But it depends so much on this: Do the
decisions, made by the people in control of that technology
value children?
Now more than ever, American families are seeking more and
better programming for their children. Parents don't just
want to tune out bad shows, they want to be able to tune in
good ones -- shows that stimulate, inform, and challenge our
children.
And thanks to research done by people such as Professors
John Wright and Aletha Huston, co-directors of the Center
for Research on the Influences of Television on Children at
the University of Kansas -- who have been at the White House
before to talk about their compelling work -- we know what a
positive effect educational programming can have on
children's intellectual stimulation and academic
preparation.
Today we will hear from Professor Huston just how powerful -
- and positive -- television's influence can be.
