Mass Media and Health: Examining Media Impact on Individuals and
the Health Environment covers media health influences from a
variety of angles, including the impact on individual and public
health, the intentionality of these effects, and the nature of the
outcomes. Author Kim Walsh-Childers helps readers understand the
influence that mass media has on an individual's health beliefs
and, in turn, their behaviors. She explains how public health
policy can be affected, altering the environment in which a
community's members make choices, and discusses the unintentional
health effects of mass media, examining them through the strategic
lens of news framing and advocacy campaigns. Written for students
across a variety of disciplines, Mass Media and Health will serve
as primary reading for courses examining the broader view of mass
media and health impacts, as well as providing supplemental reading
for courses on health communication, public health campaigns,
health journalism, and media effects.
This collection explores the sexual content of U.S. mass media and
its influence in the lives of adolescents. Contributors address the
topic of sexuality broadly, including evidence not only about
physical sex acts, but also about the role the media play in the
development of gender roles, standards of beauty, courtship, and
relationship norms.
Chapters included here present new perspectives on what teens are
paying attention to in the media, and offer insight into how teens
are understanding and applying what the media present about sex and
sexuality. Employing various methodological approaches, the studies
also represent a diversity of adolescent audiences and deal with a
wide variety of media content, ranging from teens' favorite TV
programs to magazines, movies, music, and teen girls' Web pages.
Taken as a whole, this volume highlights the significant roles the
media play in adolescents' sexual lives. "Sexual Teens, Sexual
Media" contributes important evidence to the ongoing debate over
media effects, making it essential reading for scholars and
students in media studies, as well as social and developmental
psychology.
