X Abstract

<P>We can no longer imagine leisure, or the home, without media and communication technologies, and for the most part, would we not want to. Yet as worldwide the television screen in the family home is set to become the site of a multimedia culture integrating telecommunications, broadcasting, computing and video, many questions arise concerning their place in our daily lives.</P><B></B><P><B>Young People and New Media</B> offers an up-to-date account of children and young people's changing media environment at the end of the twentieth century. By locating the insights drawn from a major empirical research project within a survey of the burgeoning but fragmented research literature on new media, the book contributes to wider intellectual debates concerning the changing role of the media under conditions of late modernity. </P><P>Beginning with the basic questions of - Who has which media? Where are they located When and how are they use? - the book sets technological and market developments in a social and cultural context. This context includes questions of the conduct of family life in a media-saturated environment. It includes questions of inequality as new forms of information and communication technology potentially widen the gap between the haves and have-nots; and it includes questions of meaning and identity as the media become ever more entwined in young people's personal and social relationships.</P><P>1 2 Understanding the child and youth audience: innocents or deviants? 3 New and old media within family life</P><P>4 The growth of 'screen-entertainment culture' 5 Who are the new media users?</P><P>6 The rise of 'bedroom culture': public and private spaces for mediated leisure</P><P>7 Media and youth culture: identity and social relations on- and off -line</P><P>8 New media and the role of the school: the 'info-rich' and the 'info-poor'</P><P>9 Implications of the changing media environment</P>
