At a meeting of the Australian Education Council in Hobart on February 19, 1981, the Ministers for Education representing the Federal and State Governments, resolved to support the establishment of an Australian Children's Television Foundation. The Foundation's major function is envisaged as encouraging the development, production and transmission of children's television programs of quality. This organization would not duplicate existing facilities, but work through existing production houses and producers, supplying finance for worthwhile projects that are brought to it as well as commissioning the making of projects it has initiated. Following consultation with State and Government Ministers, a Steering Committee has been established with a view to the creation of the Foundation.

This article reports on a study of additional transmedia content that is available online in relation to all Australian television drama productions and high rating international drama productions in a five-month period, between January and June 2012. In particular, it asks what additional material exists, and develops a typology of different types of content in order to further explain the current state of play in Australian production. The study examines extended storytelling texts developed specifically for the internet, like ‘webisodes’. It also considers other video and further content that can be based on extending the story world of a program. This article presents and examines the results of the study, arguing that this material can be seen to support the idea of an industry in transition. It finds that there are differences in approach to this type of content between public, free-to-air commercial and subscription broadcasters. Children's television programs are seen to offer the most sophisticated approach online at this time.

Advertising To Children

AbstractObjectiveTo describe the pattern and prevalence of food and drink advertisements to children on commercial television in Sydney, Australia, and compare these with advertising regulations set out in the Children's Television Standards and results from a similar study in 2002.DesignData were collected by recording television from 06.00 hours until 23.00 hours on all three commercial channels from Sunday 14 May 2006 to Saturday 20 May 2006 (357 h). The study analysed advertisements in two children's viewing periods, one as defined in the 2002 study and the other according to current standards. Food advertisements were coded using 18 food categories and were analysed by time period and popular children's programmes.ResultsFood advertisements occurred in similar proportions during children's viewing hours and adult's viewing hours (25.5 vs. 26.9% of all advertisements, respectively), although there was a higher rate of high-fat/high-sugar food advertisements during children's viewing hours (49 vs. 39% of all food advertisements,P < 0.001). There were even more advertisements for high-fat/high-sugar foods during popular children's programmes, contributing to 65.9% of all food advertisements. Estimates of exposure indicate that children aged 5–12 years were exposed to 96 food advertisements, including 63 high-fat/high-sugar advertisements per week. Since 2002, there has been a reduction in overall food and high-fat/high-sugar food advertisements.ConclusionDespite reductions in overall levels of food advertising, children continue to experience high levels of exposure to food advertisements, which remain skewed towards unhealthy foods. Further food advertising regulation should be required to curtail the current levels of advertising of high-fat/high-sugar foods to children, to make them commensurate with recommended levels of consumption.
