Book excerpt: "The book puts together for the first time, valuable updated information, that looks at children's television from its early days up to current digital age, with its digital media offerings and availability. It offers new insights about a central children's media culture and focuses on non-Anglo-American television histories. Thus, readers interested in understanding past to present, local and global processes in children's television, would be able to find it in one book. Scholars, students, and professionals working in the field of children, as well as everyone concerned in children's culture could find a great diversity of knowledge about cultural, social, political, and economic contexts of programs they and their children grew-up with. This edited book based on a collective effort of researchers and professionals dedicated to compile the stories of children's television around the world. With 12 national chapters, the book includes historical accounts of children's television from the following countries: Australia, Brazil, Canada, China, Ecuador, Germany, India, Israel, Italy, Kenia, Netherlands and USA. It provides an exploration of each individual country, revealing striking similarities and differences, discussed in depth in the final chapter. Looking at the global field through local eyes--its main texts and active players (broadcasters, producers and creators, as well as regulators and policy makers), their ideologies, financial prospects and perceptions of childhood--offers a macro-level evaluation of an entire cultural field.
