As part of our By/With/For Youth: Inspiring Next Gen Public Media Audiences project, the Joan Ganz Cooney Center presents three conversations between experts and youth around topics in youth digital culture, moderated by educator Dwight Dunston. Together, adults and teens explore issues like what kids are watching online, where they get their news, how they maintain a sense of well-being in the digital world, and what it’s like to collaborate with public media professionals to produce content. It’s no secret that teens are deeply immersed in online spaces - for better and for worse. How do their online activities impact their well-being? Emily Weinstein and Carrie James from Project Zero surveyed 3,500 teens to understand how youth today must navigate their digital lives. Next Gen Public Media Youth Fellows Faiza Ashar and Jaden Thompson share their own perspectives as young people who are trying to figure things out for themselves. This series was funded by the Corporation for Public Broadcasting as part of the By/With/For Youth: Inspiring Next Gen Public Media Audiences project.
