I just found Mediasnackers, a site for videocasts about children and new media that claims to be "topped full of yummy-youth-media-shots of tasty interviews, insights or event coverage." I like the content, and want to learn more about who created it and why. So far this is all I know: it's based in the United Kingdom and was founded by a guy named DK.
But already I'm a fan of its manifesto, part of which pushes its staff to "play constantly—with words, ideas, technology, platforms, structures and others. It's the best way to learn."

About Me
- Lisa Guernsey
- Alexandria, VA, United States
- I'm a mother and journalist who is curious about how new media and technology affect the developing mind. I've recently written a book Into the Minds of Babes, which looks at how very young children respond to (and whether they can make sense of) what they see on video or computers. The research for that book -- and my work as a reporter before that -- has led me to wade deeper into the fields of cognitive science, neuroscience, developmental psychology, education, communication and computer science. I can’t hope to keep up with every new discovery that comes out of these fields, but when I see something that catches my eye, I’ll do my best to post it.
