MoreIn today's media and communications environment, pressing questions arise regarding the media's potential for harm, especially in relation to children.
This fully revised edition offers a unique and comprehensive analysis of the latest research on content-related media harm and offence. For the first time, a balanced, critical account brings together findings on both established and newer, interactive media. Arguing against asking simple questions about media effects, the case is made for contextualising media content and use within a multi-factor, risk-based framework in order to guide future research and policy formation.

Reviews
'As a lecturer in media studies, I have found Hargrave and Livingstone’s work a useful resource for lecture-preparation, tutorial topics and further reading for students pursuing projects in media effects. As a researcher with a special interest in the impact of media on health (both the physical impact of using media channels and the attitudinal and behavioural impact of consuming media messages), I have found this work a useful portal to media effects research, particularly the impact of media on obesity. This review offers a wide-ranging introduction to research investigating how media content influences audiences (and the limits of these findings), a link to scholars active in this field and an excellent grounding for thinking about media and society. For new scholars, this work happens to provide a helpful introduction to a variety of approaches to media studies, particularly research into media effects.
