    Children’s Music, MP3 Players, and Expressive Practices at a Vermont Elementary School: Media Consumption as Social Organization among Schoolchildren Tyler Bickford Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2011 © 2011 Tyler Bickford All rights reserved Abstract Children’s Music, MP3 Players, and Expressive Practices at a Vermont Elementary School: Media Consumption as Social Organization among Schoolchildren Tyler Bickford Over the last generation changes in the social structure of the family and children’s command of an increasing share of family spending have led marketers to cultivate children as an important consumer demographic. The designation “tween,” which one marketer refers to as kids “too old for Elmo but too young for Eminem,” has become a catchall category that includes kids as young as four and as old as fifteen. Music marketed to children—led by the Disney juggernaut, which promotes superstar acts such as the Jonas Brothers and Hannah Montana/Miley Cyrus across television, radio, film, DVDs and CDs, and branded toys, clothing, and electronics—represents a rare “healthy” area of the music industry, whose growth has paralleled the expansion of portable media technologies throughout U.S. consumer culture. The increasing availability of portable media devices, along with the widespread installation of Internet terminals in schools and educators’ turn toward corporate- produced “edutainment” for lessons, has reconfigured schools as central sites of children’s media consumption. Off-brand MP3 players packaged with cheap and brightly colored earbuds have become more and more affordable, and marketers increasingly target kids with celebrity-branded music devices and innovations like Hasbro’s iDog series of toy portable speakers, which fit naturally among children’s colorful and interactive collections of toys.

Miall NUMBER OF PAGES: ix, 334 ii ABSTRACT Scholars and laypersons are increasingly concerned about the marketing of inappropriate adult fashions directly to tweens, children between the ages of eight and thirteen. Using a symbolic interactionist approach, I consider strategies used to market tween fashion images, and their influence on tween self-image and mother-child relationships. Through content analysis of images in two magazines, Today's Parent and Tiger Beat, I establish that contradictions exist between traditional images of childhood as a time of innocence, and more recent adult or sexualized images of tweenhood; that both these types of representations are gendered; and that both reinforce gender roles in childhood and tweenhood alike. Through qualitative interviews with mothers and tweens, I explore the meanings they associate with tween fashion and their influence on tween self-image. Both mothers and tweens are somewhat influenced by marketing strategies that use brands, logos and celebrity role models to market tween fashion.

    The Official Newsletter of the Association of American Publishers' Get Caught Reading Campaign, Volume 4, #1 A Welcome Message from Pat Schroeder Dear Get Caught Reading Supporter, It is with great honor and gratitude that I have the opportunity to celebrate with you, as a community of book lovers – th booksellers, librarians, educators, and parents – the 10 anniversary of Get Caught Reading this May. As I take leave from the Association of American Publishers, I can’t begin to tell you how much it means to me to hear how so many of you from across the 50 states are “on the same page” for the literacy cause. Get Caught Reading has been such a literacy mainstay, with nations from Europe, Antigua, Romania, Japan, Mexico, United Kingdom, and beyond coming on board to deliver the Get Caught Reading message. It is because of you and your efforts spreading the love of the written word that we are here together celebrating the 10th birthday of such an important public awareness initiative. We are truly thankful for your support. In addition to campaign updates and anecdotes from other GCR advocates, you will find within the pages of this newsletter information on the new partnership with the National Basketball Association and Reach Out & Read. You’ll also catch a glimpse of special one-of-a-kind artwork courtesy of Ian Falconer, author and illustrator of darling Olivia the Pig, who is caught reading by her mom! We are grateful for some of the nation’s most celebrated public figures, celebrities, and beloved characters who have championed our campaign and shared with us their visions of getting caught reading.

  • DYLAN and COLE SPROUSE REACH out to 'TWEENS and TEENS with the GET CAUGHT READING MESSAGE Actors Show Their Support of The
    DYLAN AND COLE SPROUSE REACH OUT TO ‘TWEENS AND TEENS WITH THE GET CAUGHT READING MESSAGE Actors Show Their Support of the Country’s Leading Literacy and Reading PSA Campaign. August 31, 2007. The Association of American Publishers and Dualstar Entertainment Group today announced 15-year old actors Dylan and Cole Sprouse (Emmy nominated The Suite Life of Zack and Cody) involvement in Get Caught Reading, the nationwide public service literacy campaign promoting the joys of books and reading to children of all ages. Both avid book lovers, Dylan and Cole have been caught reading Picture of Dorian Gray and Lord of the Flies, respectively. “Kids are wrapped up in video games and computers, but reading is important. We make it a point to read as often as we can and want other kids to be as excited about it as we are,” says Dylan Sprouse. “We hope kids are as psyched as we are by all the books they can find at their local bookstore or library. Reading is a fun brain-feeder and it stays with you for a lifetime,” adds Cole Sprouse. “We’re honored Dylan and Cole Sprouse are spreading the Get Caught Reading message by sharing with their fans their love of the written word, inspiring children of all ages by example, and opening today’s youthful imaginations through the world of books,” adds Patricia Scott Schroeder, President & CEO of the Association of American Publishers. About Dylan and Cole Sprouse Actors Cole and Dylan currently star as the mischievous Zack and Cody Martin in Disney Channel’s amazingly successful and now Emmy nominated sitcom, “The Suite Life of Zack and Cody.” In September 2005, the Sprouses partnered with Dualstar Entertainment Group to launch the Sprouse Bros.
