Nonprofits abound which focus in getting girls, low-income youth or people of color into coding, robotics and various STEM fields. Diversifying voices in media is a step in diversifying media content, but it is only that \u2013 one step. As Sonia Livingstone, professor at the London School of Economics, said in a 2014 report, &#8216;Coding is a great idea but it\u2019s not enough. Decoding today\u2019s media &#8211; to recognise misleading and exploitative content, to appreciate what is available and to grasp the emerging opportunities &#8211; doesn\u2019t come automatically or naturally. This is a time to strengthen media education.&#8217; If we can\u2019t teach people to identify misinformation or stereotypes and demand better from media, then the same forces that have contributed to our current lack of diversity will keep their stranglehold on power and popular narrative. Harmful media messaging must be called out for it to end, and the producers behind that content need to understand that it\u2019s no longer acceptable.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><em>By Emily Long<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Interested in finding out more? <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/boingboing.net\/2015\/05\/20\/mediabreaker-remix-tool-to-fo.html\" target=\"_blank\">Read the full article<\/a> at BoingBoing.<\/strong><\/p>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mediabreaker is a first-of-its-kind, free, cloud-based video remix tool developed by The LAMP&#8212;a New York-based nonprofit organization and an <em>Educator Innovator<\/em> partner&#8212;to help people critique and deconstruct media content through remixing.<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":34,"featured_media":9528,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[618],"tags":[459,583,129,559],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/educatorinnovator.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9501"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/educatorinnovator.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/educatorinnovator.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/educatorinnovator.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/34"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/educatorinnovator.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=9501"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/educatorinnovator.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9501\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":9555,"href":"https:\/\/educatorinnovator.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9501\/revisions\/9555"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/educatorinnovator.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/9528"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/educatorinnovator.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=9501"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/educatorinnovator.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=9501"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/educatorinnovator.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=9501"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
