TV's Power
Rejected
By Manning
"I am a little fed up with the
idea that a few tubes and a loud
speaker have more power over a
growing youngster than his father
and mother, his ethical and/or
religious advisors and his teachers
at school," said . David Manning
White of Boston University at the
journalism convention on cam
pus Tuesday.
"To admit that the mass media
are stronger than these basic units
of society is_ o admit that there
is something very wrong and
lacking in parental roles and in
our educational system," . White
said.
"Educators, parents, clergy and
social scientists should sit with
leaders of the media industries to
plan research programs testing
the effects of the mass media on
American cultural patterns," he
said.
"We are not going to descend
like Carry Nation with• axes and
smash television set and juke
boxes. But we are going to use
the technical advancements in
communications to enrich the cul
tural life of the majority of our
people.
"It is high time to confront some
of the Pontius Pilates of the me
dia who would not be caught dead
listening to the drivel their TV
and radio stations emit, who
would not soil their fingers on
the semi-smut they publish, and
who yawn so sincerely when they
tell us that they are giving the
public what it wants," he said.
