Media Literacy Around the World
Television and the Quality of Life
Employing a unique research methodology that enables people to report on their normal activities as they occur, the authors examine how people actually use and experience television -- and how television viewing both contributes to and detracts from the quality of everyday life. Studied within the natural context of everyday living, and drawing comparisons between television viewing and a variety of other daily activities and leisure pursuits, th…
Boom or Boomerang
This chapter advances research on media literacy by reviewing studies that utilize media literacy in either short‐term or long‐term interventions. Media literacy interventions on a wide array of topics including violence, smoking, alcohol, and advertising are reviewed. Effectiveness of media literacy is discussed using various criteria: duration of intervention, intervention design, target group, intervention modality, causal process, and differe…
We Begin Tonight With Fruits and Vegetables
Although the literature addresses U.S. newspaper coverage of the issue of genetically modified (GM) food, there is no corresponding literature on television coverage, in spite of the fact that television is still a primary source in the United States for information about science. This article discusses national evening news coverage (ABC, CBS, NBC) of GM food on U.S. television from 1980 to 2003, critical years of both introduction and controver…

Why U.S. Media Education Lags Behind the Rest of the English-Speaking World
The article considers historical, political, and sociological explanations for why the United States lags behind the rest of the English-speaking world in the formal delivery of media education. Developments in media education are examined with respect to how media, leisure, and the popular arts are conceptualized in the United States and in contrast with other nations. Among the issues addressed are problems of parochialism and the politics of l…
Audience Activity and Passivity
The primary theoretical research perspectives that have informed the field of mass communication over the past 70 years are examined with regard to what each perspective has explicitly stated or implied about whether audiences and audience members are active or passive. We see these audience conceptualizations as central to longstanding debates on the power of the media. The article describes each perspective, offers an historical, intellectual g…
Internet Use and Collegiate Academic Performance Decrements
Recent research at colleges and universities has suggested that some college students’ academic performance might be impaired by heavier use of the Internet. This study reviews the relevant literature and presents data from a survey of 572 students at a large public university. Heavier recreational Internet use was shown to be correlated highly with impaired academic performance. Loneliness, staying up late, tiredness, and missing class were also…
Obstacles to the development of media education in the United States
This article examines the political, economic, historic, and cultural explanations for why the United States lags behind other major English-speaking countries in the formal delivery of media education. The research relies on formal documents and newsletters, interviews with leading media education researchers and teachers from numerous nations, and site visits to five countries. Among the many factors explored are the sheer physical size of the …

Experience Sampling Method Applications to Communication Research Questions
The Experience Sampling Method (ESM) is a quasi-naturalistic method that involves signaling research subjects at random times throughout the day, often for a week or longer, and asking them to report on the nature and quality of their experience. The method has been applied to an increasing number of research problems in medicine, the social sciences, and communication. In this essay, the authors, who have developed the methodology over the past …

Television and the Rest of Life
One-hundred-four adult workers' affective and cognitive responses to television were studied via the recently developed Experience Sampling Method in which respondents are supplied with radio controlled electronic paging devices and signaled to report their mood states at random times over the course of a normal week. The activity of television viewing was examined within its typical social contexts (family versus solitary viewing) and in contras…
Television and Aging

The major questions and problems now facing the field are addressed and integrated via a complete historical review of research findings. Topics covered include: the meaning and significance of the aged's viewing habits, the economic and sociological factors underlying the elderly's image on television, the potential impact of television on older persons' liv…

Radiation and Decline of Scholastic Aptitude Scores
Recent research suggests children born after nuclear testing began could have encountered genetic damage which might partially explain the decline in Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT) scores witnessed since the 1960s (6). Continued nuclear testing allegedly could have produced an accumulation of damage to the gametes of parents, resulting in the continued drop in scores (2). In the wake of revelations concerning possible delayed physiological effecr…
