In this paper we develop a notion of public pedagogy that deviates from the one espoused by Giroux and his focus on postmodernism and popular culture. Our theoretical framework is based on young peoples engagements with media texts, their involvement with youth arts projects and the ways in which community members read youth arts projects and the artefacts they produce.

So far on this blog, my posts have explored larger themes, such as Digital Natives vs Digital Immigrants and the media's treatment of stories about technological dangers. But our blog here at Digital Nation also aims to take you behind the scenes and into the process of making a documentary film for FRONTLINE. We want you to see what we're working on, read what we're thinking about, and learn how our reporting is shaping our opinions on a daily basis.
