Abstract: This article focuses on the concept of the television series "Every Man Is a Critic," over Michigan State College's new educational station, WKAR-TV. The panel is composed of four or five seniors from East Lansing High School, each of whom had written a term paper on some phase of the topic under consideration, their teacher as moderator; and a guest expert in the field. A major value of this program was its insistence that young people analyze the popular arts of which they are too often the rather supine and inert receptors. The success of the show clearly states the influence of mass media in education.
