Rad tematizira etičke aspekte uloge medija i njihov utjecaj na mlade s naglaskom na medijsko društvo, nastalo kao posljedica naglog širenja različitih vrsta medija. U radu se pokušava odgovoriti na pitanje kako naučiti mlade živjeti ugodnim suživotom s medijima i ne dopustiti im da mediji njima zavladaju. Prvi dio rada bavi se pitanjem utjecaja medija na društvo. U razmatranju toga pitanja susrećemo se i s brojnim negativnim utjecajima na društvo, posebno mlade i djecu. Nastavak rada opisuje opsežnu funkciju i ulogu televizije u odgoju djece i mladih te prednosti i nedostatke televizije kao medija. Rad opisuje pitanje privatnosti kao kompleksnog dijela suvremenih medija i televizijskog programa s jedne strane te žanr reality showa s druge strane. Posljednji dio rada posvećen je uporabi stereotipa o tome što znači biti muškarac ili žena u medijima sa seksualiziranim izgledom, sjajnom vanjštinom i kultom tijela. Takav se stereotip nameće i mladima i djeci o čemu se govori u završnom dijelu rada.
