Abstract: This critical, theoretical paper conceptualizes what determines an ethics for youth media production. Through discussions of medialiteracy, identity, and multimodality, I attempt to shift the question away from “What are the ethical ways in which youth use media?”toward the question “What are the ethics we have created as media literacy educators within which youth create media?” I assert thatwe must widen our lens to revision ethics as a complex interplay of definitions of media literacy, representations of youth identities, andunderstandings of modality as we move toward envisioning what constitutes an ethics of youth media production.
