Children in the New Media Landscape: Games, Pornography, Perceptions
Göteborg: UNESCO International Clearinghouse on Children, Youth and Media;Nordicom (2000), 379 pp.
Series: Yearbook, 2000
ISBN 91-89471-01-6
"The 2000 Yearbook treats two themes, both of which relate to newer features of the media landscape: violence in video and computer games, and pornography on television and on Internet. Some articles in the Yearbook also discuss findings on audience perceptions of violence and sex in the media. The choice of these themes has to do with the marked increase in the availability of such content to children and youth via new media technologies. The Yearbook comes with two bibliographies: Research on Pornography and Sex in the Media and Research on Video and Computer Games." (Publisher description)
