An excellent, stimulating book addressing contemporary issues. Clearly written, using research findings and theory to underpin discussion. This is an engaging read, and a valuable resource for those working with children, young people and families.

The updated version of this text is both theoretically comprehensive and timely, addressing issues surrounding children's media exposure that should be considered among any student of this topic.
