Book Description
Arvind Singhal and Everett M. Rogers have developed this unique volume focused on the history and development of entertainment-education. This approach to communication is the process of designing and implementing a media message to both entertain and educate to increase audience members' knowledge about an educational issue, create favorable attitudes, and change overt behavior. It uses the universal appeal of entertainment to show individuals how they can live safer, healthier, and happier lives. Entertainment formats such as soap operas, rock music, feature films, talk shows, cartoons, comics, and theater are utilized in various countries to promote messages about educational issues. This book presents a balanced picture of the entertainment-education strategy, identifying ethical and other problems that accompany efforts to bring about social change.

Entertainment Education: A Communication Strategy for Social.......2002-11-02
Soap operas are the most popular genre in the world. This book shows how they can be used to promote worthy values in society. A must read for anyone wishing to use radio or television as positive forces in society.
An excellent resource which outlines the methodology of combining radio and television dramatic story-telling entertainment with pro-social educational goals. Documents several successful campaigns carried out in various countries which promoted safe sex, lower birth rates, and higher status of women. Other projects introduced agricultural techniques and other topics.
Book Description
This volume argues the case that public health communication has affected health behavior. It brings together 16 studies of large-scale communication in a variety of substantive health areas--tobacco, drugs, AIDS, family planning, heart disease, childhood disease, highway safety--prepared by the authors who did the original research. These studies show important effects and illustrate the central conditions for success. The book also includes complementary analytic chapters which provide a meta-analysis of published results, some approaches to developing communication interventions, and alternative methods for evaluation of public health communication projects.
Including studies based on communication programs in the United States, as well as projects done elsewhere in the world, including Europe, Africa, Asia and Latin America, this book:
*offers a broad presentation of the alternative research designs that have been used to evaluate public health communication programs;
*includes a great range of approaches from field experiments and natural experiments to simple before-after and complex time series designs, using data gathered from individuals and from archives; and
*utilizes an innovative perspective on how to exercise public health communication from a leading and thoughtful practitioner.
As such, it is required reading for scholars, students, practitioners, and policymakers in public health, health communication, health psychology, and related areas.

Media, Education, and Change.......2001-08-23
Media, Education, and Change Jill Jameson University of Greenwich
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Main Article ------------------------------------------------------------------------
Media literacy education reflectively and purposefully delivered has the power to transform the lives of teachers and students in beneficial ways, enabling greater self-knowledge, personal growth and useful professional insights. This is the restorative vision of Media, Education and Change - an excellent book delivering media literacy education vividly in a direct way for those wishing to engage with the possibilities of media literary education as a change agent for teachers, and "how and why they teach." Lesley Johnson's well-researched, diligent, and passionate exploration into the connectivity possible among media theory, teachers' reflections on media representations of their identities, and the application of media to classroom practice has resulted in a useful interdisciplinary study offering personal and professional insights for media educators. Johnson's work adds considerably to scholarship in the field of media literacy education by extending the boundaries of the theoretical framework conventionally considered applicable in this area to include significant new contributions provided by receptive aesthetics, intermodal expressive therapy, and the technologies of the self relating to video production and analysis. The main focus for Johnson's research is the case study narratives of the personal psychological changes experienced when her teacher-participants and students were involved in media literacy education practices. Engaging our interests directly with the personal histories of her subjects, Johnson reifies the link between a complex multi-disciplinary theoretical perspective and the practical elements of media literacy education delivered in teacher-practitioners' classrooms.
Using qualitative methodology, Johnson's study traces the ways in which media literacy education can act as a catalyst for a process of self-empowerment through an encounter with "the self" in which self-knowledge is gained by analysing objectivised representations of oneself through the surrender of self-control enabled in video production. A narrative perspective is given on the personal and professional changes resulting from this application of media literacy practice. This perspective was applied principally to five teacher-participants, and secondarily, to four students of the teachers who participated in the research.

Book Description
School library media centers are at a critical juncture. Over the next decade, schools will undergo fundamental technological, economic, societal, instructional, and administrative changes. Craver discusses the major forces for change confronting school libraries, analyzes their implications as a guide for future decision making, and recommends that school library media specialists assume a leadership role in meeting these challenges. The work provides current data and statistics on future trends in technology, employment, education, society, instruction, and school administration that can help the school library media specialist to formulate forceful arguments for the acquisition of new technologies, instructional reform, and full implementation of resource-based learning. School library media specialists who need to plan and make decisions about the future of their school libraries will find this book an invaluable resource. To visualize the future, Craver creates contrasting scenarios of utopian and dystopian school library media centers in the 21st century. Chapter 1, Technological Trends, discusses the digitalization of all media and the implications of the technological revolution on the school library media center. Chapter 2, Economic Trends, considers the impact of demographic changes and declining budgets and how to deal with them. Chapter 3, Employment Trends, outlines future trends in the workforce and suggests ways in which the school library can respond. Chapter 4, Educational Trends, charts the decline in literacy and the growing school reform movement. Chapter 5, Social and Behavioral Trends, discusses the change from a nation with minorities to a nation of minorities and the transformation of the American family. Chapter 6, Instructional Trends, shows how the instructional role of the school library media specialist will change with the presence of advanced technologies. Chapter 7, Organizational and Managerial Trends, describes the role the school library media specialist will have to assume as the technological, economic, educational, and cultural changes affect the daily business of the media center. Chapter 8, Challenges, focuses on a series of challenges in technology, performance-based programs, collection development, instruction, and organization and manayement of the library media center.
