Book Synopsis

Palmer (Davidson College) and Young (U. of Exeter, UK) revisit issues explored some 20 years ago in Children and the Faces of Television: Teaching, Violence, Selling (1980, Academic Press), a collection of readings edited by Palmer and Aimée Dorr. Six of the 26 contributors are veteran authors from the original work. Written by international researchers from communication and psychology, the 18 chapters explore educational, entertainment, and advertising aspects of children's televisual media, including such topics as content, viewing patterns, comprehension, and effects of the media. For scholars and students. Annotation ©2003 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
