Reviews for Kids and Today’s Media: A Careful Analysis and Scrutiny of the Problems, Volume 2

Dr. Strasburger has done it again. No editor is more adept at recruiting the field's finest researchers and guiding them as they compose accessible, information rich, cutting-edge, literature syntheses. Kids and Today's Media is a ""must-read"" for medical professionals, educators, and scholars. -- Paul Wright, PhD, Professor and Director of Communication Science, The Media School, Indiana University Bloomington Maximizing the benefits and minimizing the harms of media on children keeps getting more difficult as media colonize our lives to greater and greater extents. Finding practical solutions that fit the science is a challenge. Luckily, this set of volumes helps parents and professionals to thread this needle. -- Douglas A. Gentile, PhD, Distinguished Professor, Psychology, Iowa State University This wonderful collection of chapters by well-known experts on media influences on children does an excellent job of reviewing and discussing problems and opportunities created by today's media. If you are a media effects scholar, or a child development scholar, or a public policy maker, or caretaker of children, or are simply interested in healthy development of children, this volume is well worth your reading. -- Craig Anderson, PhD, Distinguished Professor of Psychology, Iowa State University
