Fact + Fiction = Faction

Authors
Abstract

Television nowadays often blends the ingredients of different genres into one programme, notably documentary (fact) and drama (fiction). Research in Britain confirms that children have difficulty in separating 'fact' from 'opinion' in such programmes. Faction cannot be dis-invented, so teachers have a job on their hands.
