New film on media consolidation and youth from Reel Grrls
 Reel Grrls, the Seattle-based non-profit media literacy and filmmaking program for teenage girls, has a new video available.
"A Generation of Consolidation," created by teen filmmakers Samantha Muilenburg and Brooke Noel, is a short documentary exploring the impact of media consolidation on news content and how this affects youth, both as viewers and media makers. The film focuses on the 2008 Seattle FCC hearing on Media Ownership, and features Reclaim the Media co-founder Jonathan Lawson, author Anne Elizabeth Moore, University of Washington Professor Lance Bennett, and the perspectives of numerous young people. "A Generation of Consolidation" can be viewed, embedded and downloaded at the following locations: http://www.archive.org/details/AGenerationOfConsolidation or at
Youtube (part 1) and Youtube (part 2).
The film is also available for purchase as part of the 2008 Reel Grrls Spring Compilation DVD "Story Time" at www.reelgrrls.org.
