Klein EDGE | Global Opportunities

Studies show children spend more than eight hours a day with media, including television, video games, apps, movies and music. This program explores the companies creating this content from development through production, from casting through marketing. The course also considers the effect of this content on children's social development, cognitive learning and creativity.

How does the media industry balance its desire to entertain and educate children with its need for revenue?

This program is led by Professor Sherri Hope Culver, whose work on children's media and media literacy is world-renowned. Students will take a close look at the industry by examining articles and scholarship on the topic and through on-site experiences with the executives deciding the future of children's media.
