What happens when we create our own media?

Sherri Hope Culver in Episode 3 of Media Inside Out

The latest episode of Media Inside/Out addresses our new role as content creators on the web and how that interacts with or affects our old role of passive consumer. Host and show creator Sherri Hope Culver seeks to find out what is driving people, particularly young people, to become authors of their own media.

Joining Culver to discuss these issues are Nuala Cabral, educator, filmmaker and co-founder of FAAN Mail; Antoine Haywood, Director of Membership & Outreach at Philadelphia Community Access Media (PhillyCAM); and Jennifer Nguyen, a Temple student and Editor of Temple’s branch of HerCampus.com. Also included in this episode is a segment by POPPYN: Presenting Our Perspective on Philly Youth News on Youth Art & Self-Empowerment Project (YASP), a youth-led movement to give voices to young people in the criminal justice system.
