Television's function as a “third parent” for black and white teen‐agers

Abstract
One of the most interesting lines of rsearch to be found in the pages of the Journal in recent years is that which concerns racial and social class differences in television program choices by young children. Both authors were doctoral candidates in the Department of Communication of Michigan State University when this study was conducted, but now are assistant professors in the School of Journalism at the University of Georgia (Surlin), and the Department of Communications Arts and Sciences of Queens College (Dominick).
