Young People’s Media in Canada

This course explores the production of media for young people here in Canada. Canada has a long history of producing media texts for children and youth. Our children's television, film, music, magazine and videogame industries are rich and diverse, and are exported around the world. Yet, despite this richness and depth, the story of Canadian children's and youth media industries has not been told. The purpose of this course is to overcome this deficit by undertaking an in-depth political economic analysis of the history of young people's media industries in Canada.
