from Lake Effect Spotlight · host WUWM 89.7 FM - Milwaukee's NPR

Since the dawn of the internet, online spaces have been rapidly changing and eating up more of our time. Social media and attention-driven apps are shaping how young people think and feel and how they learn. A new documentary, “Your Attention Please,” highlights the real-world consequences of social media and how it reshapes all of us. It also shows how a new generation of parents and teens are fighting back against Big Tech’s agenda to keep us scrolling. The film is showing at the Milwaukee Film Festival. To learn more Lake Effect’s Audrey Nowakowski is joined by director Sara Robin, writer & co-creator Jack LeMay, and film participant Kristin Bride. A warning to listeners, this conversation does include the topic of suicide.
