Does anyone know where I can find trade journals and popular journals either relating to or dedicated to the issue of the media's growing sexual influence on it's young audience. Please this is important and I need answers ASAP.
Even if you know only an article FROM a trade or popular journal relating to this issue, please do say. I strongly appreciate.
Thanks

The media have arguably become the leading sex educator in America today. That's not good news, considering the fact that more than 75% of primetime shows contain sexual content but only 11% discuss the risks of sex.3 How significant is the influence of media on teens' sexual attitudes and behaviors? For 50 years researchers have explored the connection between media violence and real-life aggression in children and adolescents.4 More than 1000 studies show a connection.5 In fact, according to one leading researcher, "the controversy is over"6; now, we have a second major study showing a strong connection between sexual content in all media and onset of sexual activity among teens.7 Is there much doubt that research on the impact of sex in the media is going to parallel the media-violence research? The media represent a powerful teacher of children and adolescents.8 As such, the media cut across virtually every concern that parents and pediatricians have about young people: sex, violence, homicide, suicide, obesity, eating disorders, school problems, and drug use.
