Children today are growing up in a world of global media. Many have also become global citizens, through their experience of migration and transnational networks. This book reviews research and debate in the media, globalization, migration and childhood, with empirical research in which children's voices are featured prominently and directly.

Are children today growing up too soon? How do they - and their parents - feel about media portrayals of sex and personal relationships? Are the media a corrupting influence, or a potentially positive and useful resource for young people? Drawing on an extensive research project, which investigated children's interpretations of sexual content in films, TV and print media, this book considers how young people (aged 9-17) use such material to understand their experiences and build their identities, and how they and their parents respond to public concerns about these issues. The book offers a clearly written and entertaining insight into children's and parents' perspectives on these difficult issues - perspectives that are often ignored or trivialised in public debate.

Young People, Sex and the Media: The Facts of Life?

Bragg, S.

This book is concerned with classroom practice in media education. While media education in Britain has a long history, stretching back over fifty years, and while it is currently expanding at a remarkable rate, there have been very few attempts to describe or analyze what it looks like in practice. Most books and courses on media education tend to start from the opposite position, and to move from "theory" to "practice". The aim is generally to make accessible a body of academic knowledge about the media, and then to suggest how this might be translated into practical teaching strategies.
