Media in electronic, print or digital form that is created and controlled by youth. While experienced educators, facilitators, mentors and youth media practitioners often guide the process, the choices and decision-making around content addressed in the work lies primarily in the hands of youth producers.
Youth media is work that centralizes the important and unique perspectives, experiences and voices of youth - particularly those whose images are distorted or under-represented in conventional and mass media. Youth media is connected to other independent, alternative and community-based forms of media production such as public access, video art, documentary, and experimental media seeking democratic voice and free speech through media arts communications. Youth media approaches and pedagogical methods differ even as their goals overlap. For example, media forms taught in various organizations range from multimedia art to journalism to narrative movie-making to personal storytelling. Groups work in a variety of media including magazines, newspapers, radio, video, gaming and digital audio recording.
