Media Screening and Panel Discussion
Shoot First, Answer Questions Later: Youth Media, Youth
Voice
Typically, the topic of youth is raised in public debate
when young people are hurting themselves or others; failing
at literacy, learning or life; or damaging or stealing property.
And when youth are spoken of, they are usually spoken for
by journalists, police officers, psychologists, teachers and
parents. Given the opportunity to seize the camera and the
mike, to shoot first and to direct the action, youth tell
stories and share perspectives not captured by youth experts
and authorities. Intended for the general public, this interactive
session brings together academics, community activists, media
specialists and young media producers to explore how youth-made
and youth-led media can change our perceptions of youth culture
and life in a rapidly changing world.
Led by McGill Education Professors Michael Hoechsmann and
Bronwen Low, authors of Reading Youth Writing: "New"
Literacies, Cultural Studies and Education, the panelists
will explore a range of youth-made and youth-led media productions,
including older (film, video and radio) and newer (remix and
mash-up) forms. Their goal is to share ideas, challenge conventional
assumptions and identify new paths for future discussions
in youth and media studies.
