As author or editor of fourteen books and many academic articles and chapters, my research interests centre on children, young people and the internet; social and family contexts and uses of ICT; media and digital literacies; the mediated public sphere; audience reception for diverse television genres; internet use and policy; public understanding of communications regulation; and research methods in media and communications.
Recent books include 'Young People and New Media' (Sage, 2002), 'Audiences and Publics' (edited, Intellect, 2005), 'The Handbook of New Media' (edited, with Leah Lievrouw, Sage, 2006), 'Harm and Offence in Media Content' (with Andrea Millwood Hargrave, Intellect, 2006), 'Public Connection? Media Consumption and the Presumption of Attention' (with Nick Couldry and Tim Markham, Palgrave, 2007), 'The International Handbook of Children, Media and Culture' (edited, with Kirsten Drotner, Sage, 2008), New Media. Sage Benchmarks in Communication (Vols. 1-4, edited with Leah Lievrouw; Sage, 2009), Children and the Internet (Polity, 2009) and Kids Online (edited with Leslie Haddon, The Policy Press, 2009).
Having completed the research project, UK Children Go Online, I am now examining the public understanding of risk and regulation and directing a thematic network, EU Kids Online (see www.eukidsonline.net), for the EC's Safer Internet Plus programme.
