Television and electoral debates: the children's audience

In Spain, children are not an audience to which politicians directly address their actions, but they do have information about candidates and electoral processes. We propose a review of the information handled by children in early childhood and primary education during the election campaigns, and the sources from the private sphere (the family), the social sphere (the media) or the educational sphere - the school and its teachers. A theoretical framework revising education legislation, electoral laws and those aimed at protecting children children, given their characteristics as recipients of communicative messages in general and electoral messages in particular, and the inclusion of these tools in the appropriate content and knowledge of the education analysed.
