Children in the New Media Landscape. Games, Pornography, Perceptions. Yearbook 2000

The third Yearbook from The UNESCO International Clearinghouse on Children and Violence on the Screen. The 2000 Yearbook treats two themes, both of which relate to newer features of the media landscape: violence in video and computer games, and pornography on television and on the internet. Some articles in the Yearbook also discuss findings on audience perceptions of violence and sex in the media. The choice of these themes stems from the marked increase in the availability of such content to children and youth via new media technologies. Two bibliographies are included: "Research on Pornography and Sex in the Media" and "Research on Video and Computer Games".
