This book provides a comprehensive, research-oriented overview of how the media impact the lives of children and adolescents in modern society. The approach is grounded in a developmental perspective, focusing on how young people of different ages and levels of cognitive, emotional, and social development interact with the media. Incorporating the most up-to-date research available, the authors target areas most controversial and at the heart of debates about the media and public health, equipping students to approach the media as critical consumers.
