"The author is to be admired for her commitment to the millennial
generation, introducing them to the many issues relevant to
children, 'tweens,' teens, and families in relation to mass media.
Equally admirable is the desire to create media-savvy students
capable of analyzing and weighing media content, reaching
thoughtful conclusions, and writing with accuracy, depth, and
insight. The blend of writing formats and styles-coupled with
chapter-end summaries, further consideration tasks, and
resources-moves well toward the analytical and expository goal. The
overall work seems well suited for an introductory college writing
course in which students are honoring their expository tools and
skills within a relevant journalistic content area."
—American Journal of Psychology
