Example text
The Progressive Era’s interest in saving the recent immigrant and poorer children focused on the role of movies in leading to delinquency among boys and sexual immorality among girls. (Child advocates, known then as “child savers,” such as Jane Addams claimed that movies were the source of ideas of delinquent behavior among the children she counseled; Butsch, 2000). When combined with the rising interest in adolescence as a distinct period of childhood, youthful movie-going audiences were seen as being in need of protection from the effects of media.
For example, television has provided children with unprecedented access to violent and sexual content. In addition, over the past nearly 60 years, television more than any other medium has expanded programming to children who are younger and younger, providing them with a wide range of educational and entertainment fare. Starting with the television era, then, the sheer volume of media content available to children today – both good and bad – was qualitatively different from earlier eras. Because of television, children now live in a media-saturated world.
By the 1930s media time use had increased due to the popularity of radio. For instance, sociologists Lundberg, Komarovsky, and McInerny (1934) conducted extensive fieldwork in Westchester County, New York, and had 795 high-school students keep a diary of their leisure time use during 1932 and early 1933. They found both social-class- and gender-based differences in the amount of leisure time youth reported: those from more economically deprived backgrounds spent more time at paid jobs outside the home and girls spent more time in domestic work than boys.
