Based on a study examining the meaning of the term "media literacy"
in children, this volume concentrates on audiovisual narratives of
television and film and their effects. It closely examines
children's concepts of real and unreal and how they learn to make
distinctions between the two. It also explores the idea that
children are protected from the harmful effects of violence on
television by the knowledge that what they see is not real.
This volume is unique in its use of children's own words to
explore their awareness of the submerged conventions of television
genres, of their functions and effects, of their relationship to
the real world, and of how this awareness varies with age and other
factors. Based on detailed questionnaire data and conversations
with 6 to 11-year-old children, carried out with the support of a
fellowship at the Annenberg School for Communication, University of
Pennsylvania, the book eloquently demonstrates how children use
their knowledge of real life, of literature, and of art, in
intelligently evaluating the relationship between television's
formats, and the real world in which they live.
