Describe
the educational and informational objective of the program and how
it meets the definition of Core Programming:
VJ
IAM.tv clearly achieves the goals of providing young people with a
television show that meets core requirements of the FCC as follows:
VJ IAM.tv is an E/I video
journalism series for children 13 and up. All video journalists featured
share their stories, skills, passions, and interest with their peers.
After each segment, the host interviews the VJs to find out more about
their experiences shooting the piece. This technique is implemented
so that young people may identify with the experiences of the video
journalists. Viewers are encouraged and given the confidence to seek
their own identity through storytelling and video production. Additionally,
in the weekly content, the series inspires teens by featuring examples
of young people who are active in their communities.
Topics explored range from
health, fitness and green awareness to sports and entertainment.
