Abstract Details

1980, Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.), Bowling Green State University, Media and Communication.
The purpose of the present study is to provide a history and descriptive analysis of Mundo Real, the first bilingual television program designed especially for Puerto Rican children (ages 9 to 13). For its content and production quality Mundo Real received an Emmy Award Award nomination as well as various awards from the International Film and Television Festival of New York and the Gold Camera Award Competition of Chicago. In order to develop the historical background of the program, including the motivations for its inception, the practical aspects of its production, and the backgrounds of the personnel involved with the series different sources were investigated. A thorough study was made of all available written material, videotapes, and recordings. Information was also gathered through interviews with production and management personnel, independent researchers under contract with the series, actors, community leaders, teachers, and other persons within the Hartford area. Research of related literature concerning television and children, especially Puerto Ricans, indicates that they the same as their North American counterparts dedicate a large amount of time to television viewing. The present study focuses on the history of Mundo Real, production content, idea formulation and writing process, format, themes and characters as well as research on the target audience.
