Girls Investigate: Pop Culture Problems and Social Media Snags, by: Julia Lo

The Women's Media Center (WMC), a leading media advocacy and training organization, in collaboration Girls Learn International®, Inc. (GLI), announces the launch of Girls Investigate: Our Views on Media, a four-part multimedia series that explores girls ideas about popular culture, social media and the intersections between the two.

Girls Investigate: Our Views on Media features provocative and constructive articles by young women thinking critically about different forms of new media. Along with each article, a corresponding video commentary showcases girls reacting to issues in their own words. The series was designed to highlight the unique perspectives of young feminists who offer in-depth analysis of how the media portrays women and girls.
