It is generally acknowledged that media violence has negative effects, but chapter one allows your readers to decide for themselves whether it's a real problem. Is the Internet a new medium for violence? What are the effects of violence and suffering in news media reporting? How should media violence be regulated? Three more chapters debate these three queries, with several compelling essays that present more than one viewpoint. Readers will be able to develop intelligent opinions on topics such as video games, cyberbullying, and terrorism in relation to media violence.
