| Abstract | This paper will examine the relationship between children’s television and their perception of the news media as a result of their consumption of news via popular culture. Specifically, the research will concentrate on Sesame Street, and the “Sesame Street News Flash,” a recurring segment that mimics the format of adult television news. Through the “Flash,” the paper will demonstrate how popular stereotypes of the TV reporter and conventions of television news are communicated to a vast audience of young viewers and examine the implications of these images.; Kids will eventually become adult consumers who will remember their childhood impressions, thus likely influencing their feelings about the news media. This research will address why the portrayal of the journalist on this program is important, and how it likely shapes viewers’ perception of the news media based on the show’s widespread cultural influence and longevity. I will also discuss the perception of the television news media by children in general, and compare and contrast that to the portrayal of the journalist’s image in television historically through a range of various familiar stereotypes. |
