TeenTalk
Television Special + Discussion Starter Videos
OPPORTUNITY: TeenTalk was originally created in 1993 as a half-hour television special for WRGT-TV an affiliate of the FOX Television Network. In creating the show, we talked with students, and people who work with students, from various backgrounds and locations hearing how they communicate.
RESULTS: This “active research” collection of on-the-street, in-the-mall and at-school video footage was edited into a 30-minute after-school television special. Following the broadcast, a series of 10-minute discussion starters were produced:
- TV & The Media
- Family
- Friends
- Teachers
- Parents on Teens
- Teens on Parents
