The social, cultural, and psychological impacts of mass media communication are explored in this volume by top media effects researchers. These experts review traditional topics (agenda setting, violence, aggression), and offer new insights into questions largely left untapped — television addiction, pornography, the social effects of new technologies, and the idea that entertainment is itself a media effect.
