Preferred term

impact of TV on reading  

Definition

  • Since television's emergence as a mass medium, there has been a concern that it would affect reading among children, and since the early 1950s, a considerable body of research has addressed the issue. However, from the beginning, there has been little agreement among researchers as to the strength, direction, or even the existence of such a relationship.
