Making Your Media Matter Conference 2010
The Center for Social Responsibility at American University will host its 2010 Making Your Matter Media Conference next week in Washington, DC. A number of luminaries will be attending. Panels will feature creative artists, filmmakers, social entrepreneurs, and funders. The only thing that’s missing from this year’s conference: video games.
When will folks start including gamers in the discussion? It’s a multibillion dollar industry with an engaged audience. A Swiss study found that several games allow players to openly violate war crimes. Other organizations such as Breakthrough have created video games to teach about human rights. Oh well, next time.
