Altruism & Media
While violence and the mass media is a topic aggressively delved into by researchers in many fields, altruism has been less covered both in general in recent years as well as in relation to the study of mass media. This paper provides an overview of altruism and establishes three topics of interest to media psychology and future research: media as a tool of altruism, media representation of altruism, and media as altruism.
