📢 The latest 'Children's Media Lives 2024' from Ofcom, via Revealing Reality, heightening again the need to define what we mean by social media in any discussion of it. 🖋 "Children are primarily looking at visual media – images and videos – not interacting with other people. The content they see in their feeds is increasingly professionalised and commercialised – as social media has become bigger and bigger business, it’s changed the way people use it." 🔎 These important reports do highlight the critical need for real time monitoring of impacts, and the challenge of longitudinal research. ✔ Much to digest, but the 5Rights report, from Alexandra Evans and colleagues, and its reference to cumulative harms is spot on: 💰 "Most of what children now see on social media was created by someone with the deliberate goal of capturing attention, garnering ‘likes’ or building a following – and it’s often their job to do this."

"The People's Newspaper" is a documentary that tells the story of the Navajo Times, a weekly newspaper that serves 300,000 people over three states (Arizona, New Mexico, and Utah) and 27,413 square miles in the Southwest. Many residents of the reservation don’t have Internet service, so the paper is vital to the community. It is a powerful documentary directed by Eléonore Leo Hamelin and produced by Torsten Kjellstrand, Rob Finch, and Hamelin. "We were blessed with a gift to be a storyteller," says CEO/publisher Tom Arviso, Jr. "But you have to use it the right way." "The rest of the world’s telling their truths, you know, on behalf of their people, their communities, their cities, their countries. I feel proud that I’m able to do that for my home. For the Navajo Nation, for Dinétah," says Donovan Quintero in the documentary. Born and raised in the Navajo Nation, he loves journalism, writing as "a voice of the people," the Navajo people. "We know what we’re doing is the right thing," said Arviso, who has been with the paper for over 35 years. "This paper is not just a piece of paper with words on it. It actually takes on a life of its own. It’s how we think and feel, what we put into it. Our own thoughts, our tears, our smiles, our laughter. Every emotion goes into this newspaper. So when it goes out into the street, when it goes out into the newsstand, it’s a part of us that we’re sharing with our people.” This is the power of journalism.
