Television Violence - HOME Television Violence The Case for Television Violence: Academic Duplicity and Cultural Conflict by Jib Fowles, The Case for Television Violence makes the provocative argument that television violence has been misinterpreted.

Disorder Eating Media - HOME Disorder Eating Media Fat Talk: What Girls and Their Parents Say about Dieting by Mimi Nichter, X TEEN-AGED GIRLS hate their bodies and diet obsessively, or so we hear. News stories and reports of survey research often claim that as many as three girls in five are on a diet at any given time, and they grimly suggest that many are "at risk" for eating disorders. But how much can we believe these frightening stories? What do teenagers mean when they say they are dieting? Anthropologist Mimi Nichter spent three years interviewing middle school and high school girls -- lower-middle to middle class, white, black, and Latina -- about their feelings concerning appearance, their eating habits, and dieting. In Fat Talk, she tells us what the girls told her, and explores the influence of peers, family, and the media on girls' sense of self. Letting girls speak for themselves, she gives us the human side of survey statistics. Most of the white girls in her study disliked something about their bodies and knew all too well that they did not look like the envied, ...

Matthew Baum argues that the answer lies in changes to television's presentation of political information. In so doing he develops a compelling "byproduct" theory of information consumption. The information revolution has fundamentally changed the way the mass media, especially television, covers foreign policy. Traditional news has been repackaged into numerous entertainment-oriented news programs and talk shows. By transforming political issues involving scandal or violence (such as attacks on America) into entertainment, the "soft news" media have actually captured more viewers who will ...
