Did you ever wonder about the relationship between kids (including teens) and the media? How do youth relate to the news media, advertising, entertainment, and other media and information sources, including digital and social platforms? In this class we will explore the complex relationship between youth and the media, including developmental, theoretical, and ethical perspectives. Topics include: educational media, entertainment-education, journalism, advertising, media and digital literacy, problematic media use, media effects, violent content, social learning, and a focus on diversity, equity, inclusion, and access issues in youth and media.
