CBS Screens ‘Kid Nation’ at Schools

CBS SCREENS 'KID NATION' AT SCHOOLS
[SOURCE: New York Times, AUTHOR: Edward Wyatt]
For weeks CBS has objected to criticism of its new reality show “Kid Nation,” which is the subject of an inquiry by the New Mexico attorney general over its possible skirting of child labor laws. CBS has said critics should hold their tongues until they see the show, which leads off its prime-time lineup on Wednesday. But at the same time that the network has refused to share copies of the premiere with critics and reporters in order to maintain secrecy over that episode’s results, it has been screening the program for schoolchildren and potential advertisers.
