Abstract:

The article examines the media coverage of two books intended for children and teenagers that concern taboo themes, such as sexual education and same-sex partnership. A similarity in the coverage is demonstrated where limited conservative stances become overrepresented through a large number of publications in a short period of time. The results are presented with regard to media effects and the formation of attitudes in a wide range of recipients of mediatized messages.

Keywords:
