A Center for Media and Information Literacy production
What is Media Inside Out?
Media Inside Out is a television talk show that explores the media we love to watch, listen to, read and play with an analytical and critical approach. Media Inside Out approaches media with an appreciation for its potential as entertainment, and even as an educational tool, but balances that with an understanding of its impact and influence. Each episode digs deep into a specific media theme or media property. The series is produced and hosted by Sherri Hope Culver, professor of instruction and director of the Center for Media and Information Literacy. Program segments and information are conveyed in an entertaining, playful manner. The show explores, reveals, clarifies, and ultimately helps the audience appreciate the power of the media in their lives and their relationship with that media. Media Inside Out promotes creative and intellectual dialogue while encouraging viewers to analyze their own media habits.
Media Inside Out airs on TUTV Wednesdays at 12:30pm, Wednesdays at 8:30pm and Thursdays at 4:30am
