Focusing on the meanings, uses, and impacts of new media in
childhood, family life, peer culture, and the relation between home
and school, this volume sets out to address many of the questions,
fears, and hopes regarding the changing place of media in the lives
of today's children and young people.
The scholars contributing to this work argue that such
questions--intellectual, empirical, and policy-related--can be
productively addressed through cross-national research. Hence, this
volume brings together researchers from 12 countries--Belgium,
Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, the United Kingdom, Israel,
Italy, the Netherlands, Spain, Sweden, and Switzerland--to present
original and comprehensive findings regarding the diffusion and
significance of new media and information technologies among
children. Inspired by parallels and difference between the arrival
of television in the family home during the 1950s and the present
day arrival of new media, the research is based on in-depth
interviews and a detailed comparative survey of 6- to 16-year-olds
across Europe and in Israel. The result is a comprehensive,
detailed, and fascinating account of how these technologies are
rapidly becoming central to the daily lives of young people.
As a resource for researchers and students in media and
communication studies, leisure and cultural studies, social
psychology, and related areas, this volume provides crucial
insights into the role of media in the lives of children. The
findings included herein will also be of interest to policymakers
in broadcasting, technology, and education throughout the
world.
