This collection explores the role the media have in children's lives at times of conflict and war. In an increasingly global world, even crises and catastrophes that take place in countries thousands of miles away become part of children's daily lives through media exposure.

The 15 chapters offer for the first time a unique and diverse picture of the most current academic work in this area. Among the key questions addressed are: How to media influence children's knowledge and understanding of crucial existential events? What effects do coverage of war and conflict have on their well-being? What roles do producers of media for children take upon themselves at such times? The editors provide both an integrative introduction and a critical summary of the book.
