“It is clearly written to be accessible for a vast array of audiences-from undergrads, to grad students, to industryprofessionals. In this sense, the new edition is truly "media education for all"-all reasons, allseasons, and all audiences. It is heartening to see the compilation of research and the careful writing that is displayed in this text. It isdestined to be a classic teaching and research tool for students and professionals.”

Text covers relevant material, and I was especially happy to see a chapter on pro-social effects of media (which is usually absent from texts about children and media).

My course was structured as a service learning course in which my students develop and teach five classes to grade-school children on media literacy topics. This text was perfect for that reason as well as the fact they have all, until recently, been children, so it helps them to understand how media have influenced them. And they may someday be parents who need to protect their children from unhealthy media influences. Thus, child-focused media literacy is crucially important for our students to learn.

This is an oustanding text that provides a good deal of information regarding the history of the media in the US and the impact on youth. It provides a substantial amount of information that allows for good discussions and takes the class to extended investigation of important themes. I use it in an interdisciplinary course - EDUC/COMM 345 - which focuses on the various uses of media by children from K - 12 and with attention to it's use by young adults.

The book would take all semester to get through, and my students need to focus on more general topics in Children and Adolescent Development
