Cyber-bullying, sexting, and the effects that violent video games have on children are widely discussed and debated. With a renowned international group of researchers and scholars, the Second Edition of the Handbook of Children and the Media covers these topics, is updated with cutting-edge research, and includes comprehensive analysis of the field for students and scholars. This revision examines the social and cognitive effects of new media, such as Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, Skype, iPads, and cell phones, and how children are using this new technology. This book summarizes the latest research on children and the media and suggests directions for future research. This book also attempts to provide students with a deliberate examination of how children use, enjoy, learn from, and are advantaged or disadvantaged by regular exposure to television, new technologies, and other electronic media.

Five new chapters: Chapters 5, 13, 14, 19, and 34 have been added to this edition and cover topics that include social networking, texting, social effects of recreational video games, research on sex in the media, children's media use in a global perspective, and media literacy and education providing students and scholars with the contemporary relevant subject matter.
Discussion of new technologies and new media: Coverage of new media and new technologies such as the introduction of blogs, Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, MySpace, Skype, and texting as forms of communication among young people and adults speaks to the social networking most students relate to and utilize.
Updated with the latest research: This revised edition includes updated references, statistics, and tables to highlight information.
Modified Pedagogy: An introduction as well as a new, brief opening statement by editors precedes each section of the book with a revised, concluding chapter enhancing the reinforcement and retention of key concepts.
Authoritative. Two of the most influential individuals in the field; Dorothy and Jerome Singer, have partnered with an outstanding team of contributing authors, to make this the most authoritative volume available on this topic.
Comprehensive. This handbook thoroughly examines the psychological, health, and social effects of media on children and their development, the media industry and environment, and policy issues and advocacy.
Inclusive. In addition to the "traditional" media of television, film, and advertising, "new media" such as the Internet, video games and electronic media are also explored.
A welcomed research base. Debates surrounding important policy decisions in this area are often largely uninformed by empirical evidence. This text reviews diverse research and is a touchstone work in this area for policymakers, as well as scholars and students throughout communication studies and the social and behavioral sciences.
