Description:
BPL welcomes back Brian Rose, Professor Emeritus, Fordham University, for another fascinating media literacy program. Watching television used to be a fairly simple activity—you turned on the set, selected one of 500 channels, and enjoyed your program. Now, television is changing in front of our eyes. More and more viewers are canceling cable television, preferring to watch new online-only channels like Netflix or Disney +.
An entire generation of younger viewers has given up on the TV set altogether, and instead watch programs on their laptops or their phones. And tens of thousands of kids and teenagers have started their own TV networks on YouTube, bypassing NBC, ABC, and CBS altogether. This presentation will explore these developments and explain why the old days of simply watching TV are fast disappearing. Bring your questions!
