Coverage Of Channel One Suspended

June 15, 2009

Since 1997 Obligation has been posting articles about Channel One News on the Internet.

We have temporarily suspended Channel One reporting while we do a survey this summer of Channel One’s presence and use in U.S. classrooms.

We know that Channel One has lost millions of students. We are also aware that many schools openly breach their contract and do not show the program to students. By the end of the summer we should have a better idea the extent of the defection from Channel One.

If Channel One News is still wasting school time in a significant number of public schools, we will continue our reporting as we have done for 12 years. If it is otherwise, the day of proclaiming victory for students, teachers and parents may be close at hand.
