Mass Media
Mass media has become an integral part of the human experience. News travels around the world in a split second affecting people in other countries in untold ways. Although being on top of the news may be good, at least for news junkies, mass media also transmits values or the lack thereof, condenses complex events and thoughts to simplified sound bites and often ignores the essence of an event or story. The selective bibliography gathers the books and magazine literature over the previous ten years while providing access through author, title and subject indexes.
Influences of Media Violence
This document compiles and classifies research findings on the influences of media violence, particularly its effects on children's and young people's aggression or violent behavior; the review draws on many studies with different theories and methods. The research findings are presented in the following areas: (1) imitation; (2) aggression (including the influence of different kinds of violence); (3) fear; (4) conceptions of violence in reality; (5) habituation; (6) constructive actions; (7) excitement; (8) identity seeking/group belonging; and (9) working through problems, understanding, or knowledge. The review also touches on research that explores media violence through the lenses of other media content, culture at large, and political economy. Based on the review, it was concluded that, looking beyond direct and simple causal relations between media violence and aggression, everyone receives impressions from and is in some way negatively influenced by media violence, although in different ways based on varying motives, intentions, wishes, and life conditions. (Contains 16 notes, some of which reference studies in the review.) (EV)

Communication Yearbook 14
Communication Yearbook 14, originally published in 1991 delves into research concerned with: audiences - their effect on the mass media and how the mass media effect them; the quality of mass media performance and public opinion; the study of contemporary media from an organization studies approach; the implications of propoganda; the pressure of public opinion; and media agenda setting, among other issues. Commentaries provide refreshing viewpoints to each chapter, enhancing each chapter with complementary, or sometimes competing perspectives.
