*Youth Media Matters***

*Participatory Cultures and Literacies in Education***

/Korina M. Jocson///

    "Korina M. Jocson synthesizes her work in an impressive piece of 
scholarship that helps us see how youth media production experiences 
support adolescent development, enhance learning in the content areas, 
promote creativity and self-expression, and advance appreciation for 
democratic practices of self-governance and civic engagement. She is a 
talented writer, and her clear, accessible prose is matched by 
considerable strength as a theorist."—Renee Hobbs, author of 
/Discovering Media Literacy: Digital Media and Popular Culture in 
Elementary School/

In an information age of youth social movements, /Youth Media Matters/ 
examines how young people are using new media technologies to tell 
stories about themselves and their social worlds. They do so through 
joint efforts in a range of educational settings and media environments, 
including high school classrooms, youth media organizations, and social 
media sites. Korina M. Jocson draws on various theories to show how 
educators can harness the power of youth media to provide new 
opportunities for meaningful learning and "do-it-together production." 
Describing the impact that youth media can have on the broader culture, 
Jocson demonstrates how it supports expansive literacy practices and 
promotes civic engagement, particularly among historically marginalized 
youth.

In /Youth Media Matters/, Jocson offers a connective analysis of content 
area classrooms, career and technical education, literary and media arts 
organizations, community television stations, and colleges and 
universities. She provides examples of youth media work—including 
videos, television broadcasts, websites, and blogs—produced in the San 
Francisco Bay Area, Los Angeles, New York, and St. Louis. At a time when 
educators are increasingly attentive to participatory cultures yet 
constrained by top-down pedagogical requirements, Jocson highlights the 
knowledge production and transformative potential of youth media with 
import both in and out of the classroom.

*Korina M. Jocson*is associate professor in the College of Education at 
University of Massachusetts, Amherst. She is author of /Youth Poets: 
Empowering Literacies in and out of Schools/ and editor of /Cultural 
Transformations: Youth and Pedagogies of Possibility./
