| Summary: | From Internet censorship to levels of television exposure, the effects of mass media on children is one of the most widely debated issues in our society.

This book summarizes the current scope of research on children and the media, suggests directions for future research, and attempts to provide students with a deliberate examination of how children use, enjoy, learn from, and are advantaged or disadvantaged by regular exposure to television and other electronic media. --From publisher's description. |
