Summary:While television programming in the USA has traditionally focused on the general, English-speaking market, recent developments in children's television are changing that phenomenon. In response to the population growth of Latinos, new Spanish-language media channels have emerged.

Media scholars must assess this new programming in order to determine the role television may have in teaching children of all ethnicities to navigate the world in which they live.
