How about this: Does television viewing by young children affect learning and scholastic performance?
I'm interested in looking at this from different perspectives: How news media presents the issue, How experienced teachers view the question, and then finally what resent research shows.
What do you think? Can you think of any other perspectives I could use? I'm sure I can find a very very seasoned teacher who may be able to recall a time before TV, or at least before it was in every household in the country. Could that work as my professional interview?
Thanks,
Jesse

You'll probably run into a wall on measurement metrics, as there probably isn't many solid means of quantifying "scholastic performance" for 3yr olds in relation to media use.
You might get more mileage out of "state of research on television viewing and young children", which will be a broad sweep of behavioral /developmental or learning studies - pick 2-3 out of the pile. Then examine and pull resources on how the different perspectives view those issues you picked out.
In the end you have a picture of how leading institutions (academic, industry, etc) involved in tv/children - how they view the issues and what supports such views.
that makes sense?
