CMN 714 (01) - Youth and Media

Youth and Media

Credits: 4.0

CRN: 14824
This course will situate contemporary debates about youth and media in historical and theoretical context by examining the ways in which media texts and technologies construct and reflect ideas about youth culture. With a focus on western societies, we will examine the cultural, economic, and political factors that contributed to the social construction of adolescence as a distinct lifecycle stage in the twentieth century. In particular, we will look at how media industries have worked to define and commodify this life stage, thereby creating expectations about what it means to "grow up" in western cultures. We will explore the importance of media texts - including music and fashion - in the construction of youth subcultures. Our investigation of subcultures will consider the role of race, class, and gender in academic theories about young people. We will examine how "moral panics" about youth culture and counter cultural movements are reflected and reproduced in current fears about the effects of media technologies and texts on teenagers. We will conclude by investigating how these various interventions play out in discussions about adolescents' media production, particularly in a digital environment in which young people are simultaneously constructed as savvy "digital natives" and vulnerable victims of media messages.

Course Topic & Description:  Vlogging - Vlogging has exploded in popularity over the past few years. As a means of self expression, sharing information, instruction, marketing, or expressing opinions, vlogging at its best and most effective is not just a casually produced, brief account of one’s day. Creating an engaging, substantive vlog post is not as easy as it looks. Noted vloggers (including many YouTubers) spend hours carefully constructing their vlog posts, and much of the same methodology, production values, and story crafting traditionally used in a short documentary, or a topical television “news magazine” segment are used in popular vlogs today. We’ll watch and discuss vlog posts by some of the best in the business, including a wide variety of subject matter, from college vlogs to travel vlogs, news & opinion vlogs, etc. Each student will choose from the myriad topics and styles that exist in the “vlogosphere”. There will be a requirement of a minimum of one vlog post per week, in light of the need for consistency in production in order to build an audience. We’ll practice key video production and post production methods, which in addition to using cameras and editing software, will also include writing, practice using a teleprompter, and working at developing an on camera presence and persona. Over the course of the semester, students will develop and enhance their ability to produce sophisticated content which includes strong narrative communication.
