Help your students become less vulnerable to the influence of media on their attitudes and behavior through media education.

Various media and types of programs are addressed, including motion pictures, television news, and advertising. Activities are coded by grade level and curriculum area.

Interesting Reading...for a Textbook

I purchased this book as a textbook for a class I am taking. The book is highly informative. I wish the paper and cover quality were better, but that's about all I would change.
