Ottawa School Board to Contract Whittle Channel One
The Ottawa school board plans to bring Channel One into Ottawa High and Ottawa Middle, offering 10 minutes of news and two minutes of ads daily in exchange for televisions and video gear. A University of Michigan study, funded by Whittle, surveyed 24 schools and 4,400 students. The report found Channel One weak for school like learning but widely endorsed by 60 percent of 900 teachers. Some critics point to advertising and offensive content as drawbacks.
