media effects on African Americans  

Definition

  • Today, African American children and adolescents, like their peers of other ethnic groups, are born into a world of mass media that is in a state of constant change and dynamic motion. Although television remains the ubiquitous medium for information and entertainment, the presence of the computer, online capabilities, video games, and other electronic and print marvels continue to compete for the time and attention of these developing children and youth.
