Description: A study of contemporary media sources which analyzes how children respond to what they see and hear, and relates how current fads such as Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles are carefully contrived and manipulated by large-scale commercial interests.
Synopsis: How do children today learn to understand stories? Why do they respond so enthusiastically to home video games and to a myth like Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles? And how are such fads related to multinational media mergers and the "new world order"? In assessing these questions, Marsha Kinder provides a brilliant new perspective on modern media.
