Description
Featuring a mix of perspectives from the field’s leading scholars and advocates, this volume presents a snapshot of the theoretical and conceptual development of media literacy education—what has influenced it, current trends, and ideas about its future.
"Across the diverse contributions [of this volume], several key themes emerge, but perhaps the most significant is to do with the changing nature of contemporary media–and particularly the impact of digital technology …. As an old-timer in the field, I know that we are unlikely ever to arrive at a point where we can all sign up to a single definition and prescription for media literacy education. This is the case in most other areas of education, and it’s a healthy phenomenon: we should let the thousand flowers bloom."
David Buckingham, Loughborough University, UK, From the Foreword
"Presenting a fresh perspective on media literacy at this point in time, the overall theme of this book is that media literacy is relevant in new ways in our changing, mediated society. The list of contributors reads like a "who’s who" in media literacy education."
