Gunter (University of Sheffield, UK) examines research concerned with advertising to children on television. The purpose of the book is to establish the status of knowledge about how children respond to advertising on television, how much the research evidence can be taken at face value, and the degree to which research can inform regulation of advertising aimed at young viewers. The research reviewed here investigates the content of television advertising aimed at children, children's understanding of advertising, and the influence of advertising on young viewers.
