The media landscape has changed, and children and adolescents now face a tsunami of entertainment and information. How they sort through this may have significant effects on their education and their health. We've called on some of the world's media experts to discuss what the crucial issues are and what teachers, administrators, schools, parents, and health professionals can do about them - hence, the title - Masters of Media.
