Choose a 30-minute TV show geared towards children . As you watch the episode, count the total number of commercials broadcasted within those thirty minutes as well as the number from that total that advertised junk food items*. Calculate the percentage of the junk food commercials shown . Now choose a 30-minute TV show geared toward an adult audience and complete the same counts.
Use your calculations to discuss your findings in your initial response. Include in your discussion, the titles of shows you watched, the time of day broadcasted, your calculated percentages and commercial trends . Compare the percentages between the two shows and discuss your findings. The class will find different results – so try to compare and contrast
