YOUTH MEDIA CULTURES

Catalog description

Emerging and evolving digital formats extend book-related content for young people aged 0-18 across media platforms and provide young audiences with interactive ways of engaging with stories. However, the proliferation of new media formats and related social media platforms means there are just as many questions related to their selection, evaluation and use. This course aims to answer those questions and to critically examine digital formats and related implications for stakeholders -- including librarians, publishers, authors, illustrators and consumers -- in the field of content produced for young people, from apps to books to video games.
