dc.descriptionSince the first edition of Children and Television: The One-Eyed Monster? waspublished in 1990, the home entertainment environment has undergoneevolutionary change. There has been an explosion in the number of televisionchannels available and in the range of entertainment media on offer, such as CD-ROM and interactive video games. This completely revised second edition of Children and Television brings thestory of children and television right up to date. In addition to presenting thelatest research on all of the themes covered in the first edition, it includes adiscussion of the new entertainment media now available, and a new chapterwhich examines the role of television in influencing children’s health-relatedattitudes and behaviour. Barrie Gunter and Jill McAleer examine the research evidence into the effectsof television on children and their responses to it. They conclude that childrenare more sophisticated viewers than we often give them credit for, and controltelevision far more than it controls them. Barrie Gunter is Professor of Journalism at the University of Sheffield. Hisprevious publications include The Anatomy of Adolescence with Adrian Furnham(Routledge, 1989). Jill McAleer is Research and Information Manager for theRoyal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea.en_US
