Let's face it: the world of electronic media is changing so fast that most adults are getting dizzy. Now consider our children. From birth, our children are growing up and receiving most of their information and example behaviors from an electronic world. The net result: adults are mystified and often horrified with the obvious effects media are having on our children.

Into this fray of tangled wires and mixed electronic messages steps Dr. David Walsh. As founder of the National Institute for Media and the Family, Dr. Walsh has become a national leader in reconciling the role of media and children's lives in the world today. He calls this world a "cyberhood".

"Raising MediaWise Kids" is both the antidote for the hopelessness created by today's headlines and a powerful dose of mediawise savvy for any viewer. It's one hour of television guaranteed to change the way you look at any media for the rest of your life. And, hopefully, how you use it.
