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.

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.

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.

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.
