| Captive Audience: Advertising Invades the Classroom |
 |
http://www.mediaed.org
For marketers who wish to reach the lucrative
youth market, the relatively uncluttered
medium of the school environment represents
the final frontier � access to a captive
audience of millions of students. Meanwhile
dwindling federal, state, and local funding
for education has left many schools
vulnerable to the advertiser�s pitch. As
a result, commercialism has steadily
increased in America�s public schools in
recent years, often with little or no public
awareness.
Captive Audience examines this growing
phenomenon through numerous examples of
in-school advertising; interviews with
teachers, students, parents, and activists;
and a case study of community action to
oppose an exclusive soda contract in the
Pittsburgh school district. Media scholars
and critics � including Alex Molnar,
Professor of Education Policy, Arizona State
University; Henry Giroux, Professor in
Secondary Education, Pennsylvania State
University; No Logo author Naomi Klein; and
Bill Hoynes, Professor and Chair of
Sociology, Vassar College � offer a
broad look at the issues at stake.
Captive Audience is a compelling expos�
of the transformation of classrooms,
hallways, cafeterias, and textbooks into
advertising vehicles. It explores how
education is short-changed and democracy is
at risk when schools become marketplaces and
commercialism goes to the head of the class.

| An Audience with Suzanne Vega |
 |
On the 3rd of August 2006, Suzanne Vega
became the first major recording artist to
perform live within a virtual world in avatar
form. Suzanne was interviewed by The
Infinite Mind's John Hockenberry within
Second Life.
This short video tries to catch the moment
from the perspective of the audience of the
avatars who, from their 'armchairs' around
the world, shared this moment together, live.
