This episode of Media Inside Out examines the growing popularity of fanfiction, a particularly intense example of how media can take on a life of its own after its release. Fanfiction is a work of fiction created using the characters or settings of an original work of fiction, but written by its fans rather than the original author. It has become an increasingly popular form of creative work, especially since the advent of the internet.
Media Inside Out is a TUTV original talk show that takes a critical and analytical approach to examine various forms of media. Hosted by Sherri Hope Culver, the Director of the Center for Media and Information Literacy at Temple University, and produced by TUTV's Student Practicum class, this program uncovers a deeper understanding of today's media landscape.
