'Dear BBC': Children, Television Storytelling and the Public Sphere

Drawing on the diverse views of over 1,300 children in the UK between the ages of 6-12, "Dear BBC" discusses key controversies in the public sphere about children's relationship with the media, especially television drama. Máire Messenger Davies draws on material gathered from an audience research project commissioned by the BBC, based on surveys, structured discussions with children and interviews with program makers and policy makers.
