| | Reading Online - New Literacies: Get 'em Thinking |
| | Media literacy encompasses the skills and knowledge needed to question, analyze, interpret, and evaluate the messages of the mass media. | | | My intention with this approach was to create a structure through which to integrate media literacy into schools, homes, churches, and communities, but it was soon apparent that 50 topics is still overwhelming to a newcomer to media education. | | | The active consideration of all of the elements of the media message, the personal contemplation of its meaning, impressions, and implications, and the ensuing reactions exemplify the 3 Rs approach to media literacy. |

| | MediaChannel.org - WHY MEDIA LITERACY MATTERS |
| | Media literacy is being co-opted by industry giants, argues Carrie McLaren, and "concentrating on the overwhelming impact of mass media can actually extend its power." While deconstructing media is important, teachers must not neglect the study of real people, communities and issues. | | | Media literacy is fundamental in helping young people to become informed citizens who can actively and successfully communicate with society and the world. | | | Media literacy is an ever-changing way of thinking and understanding in a world of strong words and images, writes Elizabeth Thoman. |

| | Media Literacy Education |
| | Media literacy education teaches children (and adults!) the necessary skills for a thoughtful, conscious relationship with the media, applying critical thinking and analysis to print, visual and audio media messages. | | | Good parenting, media literacy education in the schools, and corporate and government accountability and are all part of a balanced approach to this issue. | | | Media literacy is an extension of the traditional literacies of reading, writing, speaking and listening, all of which emphasize the interpretation, production and consumption of messages. |
