Sommario/riassunto

Media scholars attempt to assess how the media informs and shapes the way we view our lives. This book explores the multiple influences of television in a media landscape that is becoming increasingly fractured. The authors look at television's pedagogical role across the life cycle, and argue that despite a world of multiple screens and competing interests "everything I know about myself, I learned from television."
