Violence and the Media

Using examples drawn from a wide range of British and American media, this text assesses the effects of media violence on audiences. Carter (journalism, media, and cultural studies, Cardiff U., UK) and Weaver (management communication, U. of Waikato, New Zealand) contend that the pervasiveness of media violence helps to normalize and legitimize the acts being portrayed. Coverage includes such topics as war coverage in the news, serial killers in film, and misogyny in pornography. Distributed in the U.S. by Taylor & Francis.
