From Internet censorship to sex and violence on television and in video games to debates over rock lyrics, the effect of media on children and adolescents is one of the most widely debated issues in our society. The Encyclopedia of Children, Adolescents, and the Media presents state-of-the-art research and ready-to-use facts on the media's interaction with children and adolescents. With more than 400 entries, the two volumes of this resource cover the traditional and electronic media and their controversial impact-for good and ill-on children and adolescents.
Reviews
I wrote a few of the entries in this handbook and am quite sorry to read in the Booklist review that the weight of the the Handbook is decidedly in the direction of potential negative effects of media. The terms of the effects arguments are in general hyperbolic and poorly researched. If this is a fair reading of the handbook it makes me sorry to have contributed. On the other hand, I can't afford a copy of it myself so have never actually read the entries. That alone would be a good reason to ignore the star rating I gave -- I have no basis for making this judgment but it is not possible to submit a review without clicking stars.
