About this Podcast
HOST: Welcome to our podcast, today I'm thrilled to be joined by [Guest's Name], an expert in media literacy and the instructor of the new course "Certified Specialist Programme in Intersectional Media Literacy for Teens". It's great to have you here! GUEST: Thank you, I'm excited to be here! HOST: To start, could you share a bit about your personal experiences and insights that led you to create this course? GUEST: Of course. As a media literacy educator, I've seen the need for teens to develop critical thinking skills to navigate our complex digital world. This course combines media literacy with an intersectional approach to help teens understand the importance of representation and power dynamics in media. HOST: That sounds fascinating. Could you tell us about any current industry trends that are relevant to your course? GUEST: Absolutely. The rise of misinformation and the impact of social media algorithms on the information we consume are significant trends. Our course addresses these issues by teaching teens how to identify bias, stereotypes, and misinformation across various platforms. HOST: Those are essential skills in today's digital age. What challenges have you faced in the field or while teaching this subject? GUEST: One challenge is keeping up with the ever-evolving digital landscape and ensuring the course content remains relevant. Additionally, addressing the diverse needs of students and ensuring they feel empowered to create media, rather than just consume it, can be challenging. HOST: I can imagine. Looking toward the future, what do you envision for the area of intersectional media literacy? GUEST: I believe intersectional media literacy will become increasingly important as we continue to engage with digital media in our daily lives. I hope to see more educators embracing this approach and teens being equipped with the tools they need to be responsible digital citizens. HOST: That's a powerful vision.
