| Annotation | The language used in the Kogan Attitudes Toward Old People Scale (1961) reflects how society viewed older people almost 40 years ago. This study tests a revised and shortened version of the Scale to compare three key occupational groups in local television news - general managers, news directors, and producers - of their attitudes and how these views may affect news coverage of older people. Use of the shortened scale in a US postal survey of producers found that, whereas there were few older news producers, as a group they had positive attitudes towards older people. (RH). |
