Youth Media Reporter is the only professional journal that serves educators, practitioners, professionals and academics in the youth media field.
YMR is an on-line professional publication that releases on the 15th of every other month, totaling six issues a year, starting with the month of February. Each issue releases six articles. The journal is bound annually in print form, which showcases special feature articles unavailable online. The print journal is accessible by request for no charge in 2008 and in 2009, will be available through paid subscription.
YMR strives to sustain and develop the youth media field by covering its topical issues, trends, and challenges. Youth media professionals, leaders, and practitioners are YMR's audience, which is expanding into new and intersecting fields nationally and around the globe. The publication offers media professionals a forum to share information, reflect on work done in the field, develop practice, ascertain new approaches and pedagogy, and celebrate youth led social change. Recognizing that many youth media practitioners come from a variety of fields, YMR includes all perspectives, viewpoints, and topics.
YMR's purpose is to build the youth media field by documenting, from multiple perspectives, the work produced by and for young people in video, film, television, radio, music, web, art, and print. YMR offers insight to the degree young people and their adult allies use media to make a difference, address a point, enhance creative imagination, and match leadership with voice.
In addition to housing the YMR publication, the website features:
If you are interested in the lives and views of young people, this publication is a window into a dynamic field that reflects and reinforces the values of the media, arts, advocacy, activism, social justice, education, and youth development communities.
Through YMR, professionals in these fields can explore youth media as a way to strengthen their work, collaborate with youth and colleagues, and gain inspiration to use new strategies and perspectives.
