Childhood as Rhetoric.
Katriel, Tamar; Nesher, Pearla
Language Arts, v64 n8 p875-85 Dec 1987
Investigates a news program aimed at children in Israel to determine its functions as a mass media form. Suggests that the content of the news items reflects a culturally derived view of childhood as a golden time of innocence, which conflicts with Israeli children's needs to confront "real world" issues in their politically tense society.
