Summary:

"Volume 2 of 20 Questions is an updated and comprehensive guide to today's most compelling issues in the study of children, tweens, teens and the media. Nancy A. Jennings and Sharon R. Mazzarella bring together leading experts to answer the kinds of questions an undergraduate student might ask about the relationship between young people and media. In so doing, the book address a range of media from cartoons to the Internet, from advertising to popular music, and from mobile phones to educational television. The diverse array of topics include government regulation, race and gender, effects (both prosocial and risky), kids' use of digital media, and the commercialization of youth culture. This book is designed with the undergraduate youth/children and media classroom in mind, and features accessible writing and end-of-chapter discussion questions and exercises"-- Provided by publisher.
