Jos\u00e9 Manuel P\u00e9rez Tornero<\/a>\u00a0has recently been appointed president of Radio Televisi\u00f3n Espa\u00f1ola.\u00a0This has reminded us that he was a great guru of\u00a0media literacy<\/a>\u00a0and an icon in the studies on\u00a0educational television in Spain<\/a>\u00a0and in the world.\u00a0He still maintains\u00a0a theory<\/a>\u00a0that has not expired in time: \u201cAudiences learn in an entertainment program and also in a fiction program.\u00a0That is why television must be transversal and open a cultural, educational, scientific and intelligence aspect \u201d.<\/p>\n

How to forget those years of open debate among educators and journalists about the advantages and dangers of television.\u00a0From the beginning, back in the 1960s,\u00a0a division was created<\/a>\u00a0between programs that imitated the dynamics of the classroom and cultural programs, typical of a more informative television.<\/p>\n

The prize for remaining on the television grid is awarded to\u00a0La Aventura del Saber<\/em><\/a>\u00a0, the result of a collaboration agreement between the Ministry of Education and RTVE that tackles adult illiteracy through cooperation links between television and the educational system.\u00a0It was introduced in 1992.<\/p>\n

The fashion for educational television in those years was translated into an implosion of cultural competitions such as\u00a0Saber y Ganar<\/em><\/a>\u00a0, broadcasts of classical music, didactic cartoons such as\u00a0Los Lunnis<\/a><\/em>\u00a0or the famous Documentaries of la 2.<\/p>\n

Choose between documentaries and “heart”<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Deciding on the white elephant of the Savannah in hours of a placid nap was a whole bet to learn, taken as a joke by the followers of programs of the heart.\u00a0Competing with the pink press in the same time slot was, and still is today, a losing battle.<\/p>\n

The first chapter of the docudrama\u00a0Roc\u00edo: Telling the truth to stay alive<\/em>\u00a0about the life of Roc\u00edo Carrasco has reached an audience of\u00a0more than 3 million viewers<\/a>\u00a0(33.2%\u00a0share<\/em>\u00a0), which has also involved\u00a0the leaders of the politics<\/a>\u00a0and has opened the debate on the effects of spectacularization before an uninformed public.<\/p>\n

The ghetto of the second chains<\/strong><\/h4>\n

There are many reasons to think why that educational television model did not work.\u00a0Perhaps relegating these programs to the ghetto of the second channels took its toll on a television that combined training, information and entertainment.\u00a0Again, the consumer society gobbles up fast food-type products and is not prepared to digest the discourse of “knowing.”<\/p>\n

But what happened to that educational television?\u00a0In a world dominated by social media,\u00a0coupled<\/a>\u00a0with\u00a0the risks of Covid-19<\/a>\u00a0and an unprecedented infodemic, television has once again concentrated the interest of a\u00a0disaffected<\/a>\u00a0public\u00a0towards politics and traditional media.\u00a0A pact against disinformation that platforms such\u00a0as Twitter<\/a>\u00a0have also signed\u00a0, which decided to withdraw Trump’s account (@realDonaldTrump) after the events of the\u00a0assault on the Capitol<\/a>\u00a0.<\/p>\n

Public networks tend to move away from gossipy internet gossip and sit analysts at the chat tables, broadcast in-depth reports to respond to people’s anxiety and confusion, and collect testimonies from direct sources, closing the door to sensationalism.<\/p>\n

For this reason, today, traditional journalism that was perverted with social networks can regain the role of verifying the lie.\u00a0The solution is called\u00a0media literacy<\/a>\u00a0.<\/p>\n

It is the opportunity for the media system and the educational system to reactivate and sign a pact that protects, especially adolescents, from cyberbullying and the use of technology.\u00a0The homework page is dense.<\/p>\n

And how do you combat misinformation?<\/strong><\/h4>\n

The School has to promote good television without dispensing with secure digital tools.\u00a0The University has to get involved and create a global network against misinformation.\u00a0And the Government has a maximum responsibility that goes beyond a budget policy.<\/p>\n

A rescue plan for\u00a0educational television is urgently needed<\/a>\u00a0.\u00a0The one from before\u00a0no longer fits<\/a>\u00a0.\u00a0The famous question of how many hours a child spends in front of the TV has been transferred to Instagram or Tik-Tok.<\/p>\n

Faced with the influence of the “artificial”, only a television with foresight resists, that recovers the conversation of families and friends, that does so with a renewed product, that reserves a space in prime time, that does not associate educating with boring, copying from the networks the ability to interact with the public.\u00a0Let the truth tell.<\/p>\n
