SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
This volume contains 25 essays that present the latest research on how children use and are influenced by various mass media, but also on the business models underlying the industry and an array of possible policies and interventions designed to protect children. The editors draw upon experts in the fields of developmental psychology, developmental science, communication, and medicine to provide an authoritative, comprehensive look at the empirical research on media and media policies within the field.
