Description
A. Background The potential benefits of collaboration between academics, who specialize in the study of children and media, and media professionals working in the field can be illustrated in the development of the Convention on Television Broadcasting for Children and Youth in Israel (first published in English in Lemish, 2007). Growing out of the collaboration between the author of this document and the Head of Programming of Israel Educational Television, this process began with convening a brainstorming symposium to discuss the need for a convention of ethical practices. Participants in this discussion included all of the broadcasters for children in Israel (public and commercial, cable and satellite). All agreed at this initial meeting to establish a joint committee of academics and professionals, who met and drafted a document that was circulated for feedback among all the broadcasters. Members included from Tel Aviv University: Dafna Lemish, Chair of the committee, expert on children and media; Zeev Segal, expert on law and ethics; Yehiel Limor, expert on media institutions and professions; and Avinoam Damari, Head of Programming, Israel Educational Television, who initiated this process. Following extensive deliberations and exchanges regarding this document, the Convention document was officially signed in July 2002 by all broadcasters in a festive event hosted by the Chair of the Education Committee of the Israeli Knesset (Parliament). The signed convention was re-produced in the form of posters for display in broadcasters' offices and as leaflets for distribution among media professionals, educators, and the public.
