36 hours of silence on one language.
Support replied in policy-scented fear.
Screenshots spread, then vanished.
Patch dropped.
“Just a bug.”
Sure.
I kept the screenshot

Within a rapidly evolving digital landscape, it can be difficult to identify the more harmful effects of digital media use on children.
This month we interviewed Antoinette Kendrick, a second-year doctoral student and Instructor in CU Boulder’s department of Media Studies. She received her bachelor’s degree in psychology and her master’s degree in social work from the University of Oklahoma. Her research focuses on the social impact of digital media use on children and how we can enable effective strategies for teaching media literacy.
On the episode, we discuss how Antoinette’s background in social work informs her approach to media literacy for youth. Tune in to listen as we discuss platform politics, how we can curtail exposure to graphic media, and reforms for educating children on digital media literacy.
