Journal of Children and Media: Special issue on Children, Media, and Health
Call for Papers
Media, in various formats, can influence the healthy development of children and adolescents in both positive and negative ways. This special issue of the Journal of Children and Media (JOCAM) will add to the inter-disciplinary literature by providing well-designed studies and theoretical papers exploring whether and how media use affects the physical, mental, and behavioral health of young people.

CMCH Director, Dr. Michael Rich and Dina L.G. Borzekowski, guest editors, invite contributions to a special issue on Children, Media, and Health from a wide range of disciplines, perspectives, theoretical, and methodological approaches.

The guest editors are particularly interested in compiling quality papers that can inform risk assessment, intervention design, and positive media applications aimed at a diversity of populations, technologies and content.

A 300 word abstract, full contact information for the corresponding author, and a biographical note (up to 75 words) on each of the authors should be submitted to Dr. Dina Borzekowski (e-mail below) as an e-mail attachment by no later than March 15, 2010.
Expected publication date is Volume 6 Issue 1, Winter 2012.
