British Netflix hit Adolescence to be shown in French schools
Adolescence tells the story of a 13-year-old boy who stabs a girl to death after being radicalised on the internet. PHOTO: AFP PARIS – British Netflix drama Adolescence, which has sparked widespread debate about the toxic and misogynistic influences to which young boys are exposed online, can now be shown in French secondary schools, a minister has said. The initiative follows a precedent set in Britain. The producer of the series broadcast on Netflix has 'opened up the rights to us', and the French Education Ministry will 'offer five educational sequences to young people based on this series', Education Minister Elisabeth Borne told LCI TV late on June 8. These excerpts from the mini-series are 'very representative of the violence that can exist among young people', Ms Borne said. She added that the excerpts would be shown in secondary schools to children from the age of around 14 onwards. Such materials are intended to help raise awareness of the problem of 'overexposure to screens and the trivialisation of violence on social networks', as well as the spread of so-called masculinist theories – misogynistic spheres that advocate violence against women, said Ms Borne. British Prime Minister Keir Starmer called the move to screen the show – in which a 13-year-old boy stabs a girl to death after being radicalised on the internet – 'an important initiative' that would help start conversations about the content teenagers consume online. Adolescence, which was released on March 13, follows the aftermath of the schoolgirl's fatal stabbing, revealing the dangerous influences to which boys are subjected online and the secret meaning youngsters are giving to seemingly innocent emojis. The series has resonated with an audience increasingly disturbed by a litany of shocking knife crimes committed by young people and the misogynistic rhetoric of influencers like Andrew Tate. As of June 1, Adolescence reached a total of 141.2 million views, making it Netflix's second most watched English-language series ever, according to industry magazine Variety.

Warner Bros Discovery to separate studios and streaming in two-way split

REUTERS/Alyssa Pointer/File Photo Warner Bros Discovery said on Monday it would split into two companies, separating its studios and streaming business from its fading cable television networks as the parent of HBO and CNN looks to compete better in the streaming era. Its CEO David Zaslav will lead the streaming and studios business after the breakup, while CFO Gunnar Wiedenfels will head the Global Networks unit that includes the cable assets. "By operating as two distinct and optimized companies in the future, we are empowering these iconic brands with the sharper focus and strategic flexibility they need to compete most effectively in today's evolving media landscape," Zaslav said. The media industry is going through what some executives have called a "general disruption" as millions of subscribers abandon the once-lucrative cable TV for streaming. That has piled pressure on companies to consistently produce hit studio content and boost profitability in their streaming businesses. WBD had laid the groundwork for a possible sale or spin-off of its declining cable TV assets in December by announcing a separation from its streaming and studio operations. The split will align the company with Comcast, which is spinning off most of its cable TV networks such as MSNBC and CNBC.

Teens are creating their own study culture - one Telegram channel at a time
Students here are building a parallel study culture of their own, through Telegram channels and other online spaces. There now exists a new subculture of student-owned Telegram broadcast channels, where students share study tips and notes, with some also documenting aspects of their school life. Over 20 of such channels have sprouted in the last two years and have become the go-to space for many looking for peer-driven support outside the classroom, apart from official resources like the Singapore Student Learning Space where teachers upload study materials for students. Secondary 4 student Rachel Ho said she has benefited greatly from joining these channels as they provide her with many resources to beef up her own notes. The 16-year-old often visits these groups before examinations to seek clarification for certain subjects, such as chemistry. This way, she does not need to "disturb" her teachers at odd hours, she said. To make sure the notes that she comes across are reliable, she also compares them with her textbook. Starting her "bluejaystudio" Telegram channel in May 2022 has made 19-year-old Ceri Chin Song Ai more motivated to complete her tasks. She posts daily tasks such as her homework or revision plans on her channel, which helps her stay accountable to her 300 anonymous subscribers. It helps that she, like many of her peers, spends a lot of time on Telegram. "When I am on Telegram texting my friends, I might be reminded to study more so that I can also update my Telegram channel," said the teen, who has graduated from junior college and is awaiting the start of her university studies. Raina Nafisa, 17, owner of "The Muggers" Telegram channel, which had over 2,300 subscribers at its peak, started the Telegram channel in July 2024 during her O-level year to share her notes and study advice with others as she wanted to motivate them to study. Alongside her Telegram channel, she also previously hosted a study group on the Yeolpumta (YPT) study app. The application allows students to track their study hours with a timer and helps them to be disciplined by restricting access to other apps on their electronic devices. Groups of up to 50 users can be formed, across educational levels from secondary school to university. Each group has a leader board displaying the usernames of students who clock the most hours studying daily. Raina, who declined to reveal where she is studying now, finds YPT helpful as it pushes her to study more. She said: "I would feel the pressure to study more than the person ahead of me on the leader board, although, as time went on, I realised that the quality of study matters more than the quantity." Some students have also turned their study channels into a side gig. Aspiring to be a teacher, 18-year-old Mohammed Danie Dahlan started posting his own social studies notes in 2023 right after his N-level exams. His "socialstudieslovers" channel on Telegram now has over 1,500 subscribers. The first-year polytechnic student also gives advice on answering techniques. First-year polytechnic student Mohammed Danie Dahlan, who owns the "socialstudieslovers" channel on Telegram, offers academic help like advice on answering techniques. ST PHOTO: KUA CHEE SIONG In September 2024, he began to host one-to-one online consultations over Zoom with students, at a rate of $5 an hour. He has since coached around 20 students taking their O- and N-level examinations. Beyond academic help, some Telegram channels try to offer emotional support to subscribers. Junior college student Liesl Leong, 17, who owns the "smartie patootie" channel, gave her personal Telegram contact to her more than 200 subscribers so they can seek advice. She created the channel in July 2024 in Secondary 4. When the O-level results were released in 2024, she provided emotional support over text to one of her subscribers who did not do well. She attributed the rise in these channels partly to secondary school students now owning personal learning devices (PLDs) issued by schools. She said: "I wouldn't even have started a Telegram channel if I didn't see how I could reach out to others. The PLDs have definitely helped students familiarise themselves with platforms such as Telegram and have provided access to those who previously lacked it." Secondary 4 student Desirae Tay Xuan, owner of the "Rae's study corner" channel, said that online spaces supplement school support. "Online communities offer a more judgment-free environment. Since most students are strangers, students feel safer asking for help without the fear of being judged," said the 16-year-old. "I also get limited practice papers from my school as they only provide me with past-year papers from my own school. These channels help to fill that gap, giving me access to a broader range of materials."
