Ten videos. It is very difficult growing up in today’s world. Danger to children seems to lurk around every corner. It appears to come from every form of media. But who, exactly, are the predators? Television, for one, is always blaming someone else.
Media Nipple is intended to educate our viewers on matters concerning visual and media literacy throughout our mediated world. We have posted many times on how we all are exploited visually, mentally, spiritually, and physically by media conglomerates.

First, we can all try to ignore and turn off the media streaming into our lives. But, unfortunately, this is almost impossible to do. Or second, the better option is to educate ourselves on the powers and seductions of media – and to participate actively and critically in our consumptions. Unless we understand media, we will continue to be exploited on every front.
