Firstly, we at The Film Space hope that you are all safe and well at this time.
With schools, colleges, universities and cinemas closing for the
foreseeable future many parents will no doubt be desperate to find
things for their children to do and many teenagers at a loose end or
revising for their examinations (if they take place!).
We are pleased to advise that all our online educational resources will
continue to be available, free of charge, for use in or out of schools
and colleges, during the enforced shutdowns. The resources include
interesting activities, worksheets involving analysis, research and
critical thinking.
With our 400+ film related, curriculum and subject appropriate resources, online at:
www.thefilmspace.org and www.filmeducation.org,
we
are confident that pupils, students and parents will find something to
assist, support and interest them whether studying or not. We are happy
for students and parents to download any of our resources.
We have also developed a free mass online open course (MOOC) on behalf
of the Film Distributors’ Association on Connecting Films with Audiences
available at https://www.futurelearn.com/courses/film-distribution.
This popular resource provides a practical, detailed overview of the
procuring, marketing and business processes involved in creating
audiences for films released in cinema.
In addition, you may be interested in another course, available free
from FutureLearn in which we have been indirectly involved: Film
Education: A User’s Guide. This course looks at a variety of approaches
to the teaching of film from a critical, creative and cultural
perspective.

Le gouvernement du canton de Vaud propose un plan d’action qui vise à instituer des mesures de soutien aux médias. Pour développer l’intérêt de la jeunesse pour la presse, le Conseil d’Etat vaudois veut subventionner pendant cinq ans l’abonnement aux journaux locaux des jeunes qui atteignent l’âge de la majorité et mettre à la disposition du corps enseignant des «packs médias». Ces mesures risquent de ne pas suffire à modifier des habitudes qui se sont formées tout au long de l’enfance et de l’adolescence. Pour instiller le goût de la lecture de la presse généraliste, il faut créer un quotidien d’actualité innovant destiné aux jeunes.
La presse est en crise. Disparition de titres et fusion de rédactions, baisse continue des recettes publicitaires, perte d’audience au profit des géants du web et, le plus préoccupant, la transformation des habitudes de consommation de l’information. Tous les indicateurs sont au rouge. Des initiatives issues des milieux politiques et économiques ainsi que de la société civile proposent des plans d’aide à la presse. Toutes relèvent l’importance capitale d’une presse de qualité, pluraliste et indépendante pour notre démocratie.
Le canton de Vaud a annoncé le 16 janvier 2020 un plan d’action, accompagné par un projet de décret, qui vise à instituer des mesures de soutien à la diversité des médias. Plus de 6 millions de francs devraient être consacrés à l’achat d’espaces publicitaires, au soutien de la production de contenu et la formation des journalistes, à la recherche ainsi qu’à la sensibilisation des jeunes générations.

With smart phones at the ready, today’s parents can instantly gain parenting advice and support from a large audience using social media. To do so, however, many parents engage in “sharenting,” or regularly use social media to share information about one’s child. In this post, Alexa K. Fox and Mariea Grubbs Hoy focus on how mums may be vulnerable to brands asking them to share about their children on social media, and could put their children’s privacy and security at risk.

Motherhood brings a variety of changes to a woman. Most women experience physiological changes as they transition from non-pregnant to pregnant. All women experience psychological changes as they consider new expectations and have concerns about what it will mean to be a mother. Consequently, they may experience vulnerability. Many of today’s mothers grew up sharing their own lives on social media. Reaching out to similar others when they have these concerns and questions is natural to them. Now, as mothers themselves, they are posting photos, videos, and other personal information about their children. This behaviour has given rise to the term “sharenting,” or regularly using social media to share information about one’s child. While this behavior may seem like “the new normal,” mothers may not fully comprehend the impact and potential consequences of posting personally identifiable information about their children. We advise marketers to stop any practices that encourage parents to divulge their children’s personally identifiable information.
My friend, the company
Further complicating the matter is mothers seeking to engage with companies as “friends” on social media. Increasingly brands encourage this perception by showing that they understand what it’s like to be a mum, sounding like a close friend. They develop that relationship in a “friendly” way through social media marketing tactics such contests/sweepstakes or virtual chats. They may simply ask mums to “share” photos and videos of their children.
They may also be triggering sharenting.
The very personal information that the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) is trying to prevent marketers from gathering directly from children without the parent’s consent, parents are willingly offering to brands as they share or post requested content. Companies are able to gather personally identifiable information about children directly from their parents.
