Because the research itself is behind paywalls. What most people get is an oversimplified version of a possibly (I think likely) flawed study. readers walk away with a caricature of an industry already under attack with no solutions. Or they think it doesn't match their experience & distrust goes

how is it distributed? 6,600 over 60 years would be 110 per year. That would be very representative in 1960 and wouldn't even cover animated shows in 2018 on Disney Channel alone. If the channels arent well balanced it skews the whole finding based on our research. What counts ad being a "doer?"

Study: For 60 Years, Kids' TV Cast Boys As Doers And Girls As Passive New research reveals that the language in kid’s TV is reinforcing harmful gender stereotypes, and that little has changed in 60 years.  In some cases, it’s getting worse.

Me coming out of the woodwork to
complain again about journalists covering studies about media from non media studies scholars without asking the right questions. (Haven't read the full study so I am reserving judgment on that.) From the jump there are issues, Flintstones is not a kids show.

I am considering dropping one of my favorite assignments I have done for years, and students have used in interviews, based around decision making because while the work quality is the same/has improve the anxiety around it, negativity around it keeps rising.

Courses start tomorrow and my pup is quite literally blocking my progress...I will definitely miss this back at the office.

My son decided to dance at the end of the Trolls Band Together movie in front of the screen (we were the only people in the theater). Now he insists we stay until the end of the credits every time so he can dance. I sincerely wonder if this will habituate him as a credit watcher long term.

Can we please just have this pop up every time chatgpt is opened....signed everyone who grades

“Critical” will be the next term they go after.

My Beautiful Wickedness is always one of my favorite readings to assign grad
students. I tend to have a lot of students coming from post-positivist traditions so it is paradigm shifting in many ways. Looking forward to adding this video to the mix.

A poem for my last day working at the writing center for the semester (by Joseph Fasano)

Are Tradwives Luring Women To The Right? Much has been made of young men swinging towards Republican — but Gen Z women are growing more conservative, too.

spoke with Bustle for this excellent essay on tradwives and the political implications of influencing!

I can't get over how much voice search adds accessibility to technology for young kids. from upstairs I hear my kid telling the remote to find Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur from across our streamers. It gives him, not yet able to really spell, so much media choice independence. Also pts for taste.

I feel like videogames actually do provide a pretty accurate representation of real life right now because a lot of videogames are like “THE WORLD IS ENDING” and then you just collect herbs and pretend nothing is wrong

my son made a hard and sudden turn from perry gripp to jazz at 6 and now criticizes the jazz I pick as "smooth jazz," and therefore bad, a charge I vehemently deny

My son told my father I liked "smooth jazz" (for the record no - Melody Gardot is not smooth jazz) and he did not because he liked "real jazz." My son is 6.

Leaving work last night I ended up chatting with a group of former students. A terrible film I had seen came up; one student immediately looked up the box office, another replied "I want to know the budget", a 3rd asked how long/where it was out, & wailed its gonna make a profit. So its not all bad
