Key features include: cross-disciplinary coverage from the fields of psychology, education, media studies and communication, sociology, and public policy; a cross-cultural perspective with contributing authors from around the globe and entries on the media in Europe and Asia; entries covering television, film, video games, the Internet and World Wide Web, magazines, music, etc.; complex and difficult topics such as violence, sex, rating systems and warning labels, attention deficit disorder, body image and eating disorders, popular music lyrics, advertising, digital music downloading, parental involvement, policymaking, child development, and much more."--From source other than the Library of Congress
