This book puts together for the first time valuable updated information 
that looks at children’s television from its early days up to the 
current digital age, with its vast 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 with children’s culture will find a great 
diversity of knowledge about the cultural, social, political, and 
economic contexts of programs with which they and their children have 
grown up.

This edited book is based on a collective effort of researchers and 
professionals dedicated to compiling 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 the United States*.

It provides an exploration of each individual country, revealing 
striking similarities and differences which are 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.

This is a valuable picture, as it also provides a contextualized 
perspective for reflection in any micro-analysis of specific programs.
