"The chapters...all focus on the central agenda of honoring Walter
Kintsch through celebration of his field of study."
—CHOICE"Overall, Advertising to Children on TV provides a solid
overview of the topic area and a good synthesis of previous
research in a well-written volume. The authors are able to take a
more international approach to this heavily studied topic, which
increases its applicability and value as a concise look at one of
the staples of television content.
—Zeitschrift fur Medienpsychologie"Because of the accomplishments
it highlights and the gaps it uncovers, Advertising to Children on
TV is a valuable contribution to the fields of advertising and
marketing, media and communication studies, education, and
psychology. It is also an essential tool for anyone interested in
the ethical ramifications of advertising to children. Furthermore,
media literacy scholars will find it helpful for their cause; it
highlights the need for further development of media education
programs, which is particularly germane in the United States where
no formal system of media education has been adapted. Finally,
because the text raises questions about the industry's ethical
responsibility to child consumers, it should be required reading
for anyone working or training to work in the advertising or
marketing idustry." --Journal of Mass Media Ethics
