Nantucket Community Television (NCTV) presents the Whaler Media 101 media literacy program, which offers classes for all Nantucket youth grades 1-6. The 2022-2023 Whaler Media curriculum will combine lessons in various styles and skill levels of broadcast-quality media production with the creativity, views, and talents of its students.
Created content - short documentaries, music videos, mock-commercials, local adverts, live interviews, and talent segments - will be assembled into a magazine-style episode highlighting the creativity and views of Nantucket’s year-round youth community. The final episode will premiere in fall 2023, after which all content will be released on NCTV18 YouTube and air locally on the NCTV18 channel. This program is sponsored by Nantucket Golf Club Foundation and Nantucket Cultural Council.
Mark has been teaching Media Literacy since 2004, is currently on staff at the Nantucket New School, and heads up the Educational Program for NCTV.
