Producing Queer Youth challenges popular ideas about online media
culture as a platform for empowerment, cultural transformation, and
social progress. Based on over three years of participant action
research with queer teen media-makers and textual analysis of
hundreds of youth-produced videos and popular media campaigns, the
book unsettles assumptions that having a "voice" and gaining
visibility and recognition necessarily equate to securing rights
and resources. Instead, Berliner offers a nuanced picture of
openings that emerge for youth media producers as they negotiate
the structures of funding and publicity and manage their identities
with digital self-representations. Examining youth media practices
within broader communication history and critical media pedagogy,
she forwards an approach to media production that re-centers the
process of making as the site of potential learning and social
connection. Ultimately, she reframes digital media participation as
a struggle for-rather than, in itself, evidence of-power.
