A bi-weekly research-informed series on media “influences” hosted by academics Ben Litherland and Richard McCulloch.
Each episode focuses on a specific media case study (often a controversial film, video game, artist, TV show, celebrity, toy, etc.) and examines the claims that have been made about its alleged “effects” on audiences/consumers.
The first one includes barbie dolls and eating disorders and also video game nasties.
