'First Edition' Archive: Children and TV News Project
This archive has been annotated, catalogued and put into a database, for use by scholars and students both in JOMEC and outside.
It consists of materials donated by Libra productions, the producers of 'First Edition' a ITN/ Channel 4 news programme for Schools, presented by Jon Snow, which has now ceased production.
The materials - which include tapes, production documents, scripts, and letters - will help to support the work of a team of scholars studying children's responses to television news, especially traumatic events such as war and disaster.
