Abstract

Children and young people of this century are making their journey by audiovisual pro-duction which is ever more practical. They claim their own space making their voices heard. The capacity developed through audiovisual production and critical reception generate within them important findings about the media industry. In this article we examine the concept of media literacy and describe the process and outcome of research on learning from television with 7-11 year old children in which they are creators. They write their scripts, record with video cameras, edit digitally and exercise a critical reading of cartoons, TV shows, movies and commercials. And finally, we show the approach of the Generation M2, children and youth who are undergoing a process of empowerment by the creative and participatory use of digital media.
