At a time of intense debate about the impact of television programming on children, a national education campaign has been launched to teach interested parents, children, educators,and other members of the public how to use the television ratings system and new V-Chip TVs. The launch of The V-Chip Education Project, a partnership of the Henry J. Kaiser Family Foundation and Center for Media Education (CME), coincides with the July 1st deadline for V-Chip TVs to make their federally-mandated debut.
