Edited by Ray Brown, this anthology assembles leading researchers, psychologists, and social scientists to scrutinize how the small screen shapes young minds, from viewing habits and cognitive development to the influence of advertising and the portrayal of violence.\n\nThe collection argues with clarity and conviction that television is not a passive backdrop to childhood but an active force that moulds attitudes, values, and perceptions from an early age. Brown's editorial hand is assured, weaving together diverse academic voices into a coherent and intellectually demanding whole. A landmark work in media studies and child psychology, it raises questions about responsibility, regulation, and the nature of modern childhood that remain as urgent and unsettling today as when they were first posed.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49203199770843,"sku":"2026200015419-SECONDHAND","price":15.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/13e41ca6-30e5-4d56-9ff6-c4755bac1dac.png?v=1788145500","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200015419-secondhand-children-and-television","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
