The text is a comprehensive integration of different theoretical traditions and research practices, and one of the only books on the market to cover both critical qualitative and quantitative approaches to the topic. It brings together developmental psychology, cultural studies, sociology of childhood and health studies, among others, providing an understanding of the roles media have in the changing nature of childhoods around the world. Lemish covers the entire scope of media that children are exposed to, including television, internet, video games and mobile media.\u003c\/p\u003e With a distinctively international and accessible approach, \u003ci\u003eChildren and Media\u003c\/i\u003e balances the need to contextualize media in children's lives in their unique cultural spaces, as well as searching for universal understandings that hold true for children and youth around the world. In so doing, it avoids a judgemental approach as to whether media are good or bad for children, and instead focuses on their unique uses, roles, and meanings in children's everyday lives, offering readers a thorough understanding of the nature of today's childhoods.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eDafna Lemish\u003c\/b\u003e is Professor of Communication and Associate Dean at Rutgers University, and founding editor of the \u003ci\u003eJournal of Children and Media\u003c\/i\u003e.
