Youth-led media

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Youth-Led media is any effort created, planned, implemented, and reflected upon by young people in the form of media, i.e. video, newspapers, websites, etc.

These efforts form the basis of an international movement born in the early 1970s in Ann Arbor, Michigan, USA by the publishing arm of a left-wing, teen-led organization called Youth Liberation of Ann Arbor, which existed from 1970 to 1980. One of its founders went on to form the New York City-based Youth Communication, a youth-led media program for young people in foster care. Another organization in the early movement was Children's Express, which operates programs around the world.

In the early 1990s this movement gained new expression in the United States in response to growing media bias against youth, i.e. the hyper-sensationalization of youth violence ala "superpredators", and continued to grow due to the "Columbine" shootings. This movement features hundreds of individuals and organizations working across the United States to promote the roles of young people in society and in the media.
