The Smart Television Alliance is a new coalition of national nonprofit organizations united by a shared commitment to improving what our nation's children see on television.

Television is one of the most powerful mediums in the world. It can educate, inspire, and entertain us. At the same time, the alarming increase in violence, indecency, and sexual content on TV sends our children a very different message -- one that undermines the positive values parents and caregivers are trying to instill in young people today.

We are not encouraging children to watch more television. Instead, our goal is to help parents and caregivers easily find television programming that is educational and entertaining for kids, on the parents' schedules. We want to build an online community that helps parents make smart choices for their families. We don't want to replace or duplicate the work of established children's media "watchdogs" -- organizations and individuals who are established experts in this field. Our goal is to highlight valuable resources and to communicate to all who share our concerns.

Join us in taking back television for our children!
