43. Media Literacy all this. In other words, how do you teach about democracy and combineit with the development of media literacy? This is really http://www.okb.de/doku/englisch/media-literacy.htm

DEMOCRACY AND MEDIA LITERACY A Presentation by Robert Ferguson Course Leader MA Media, Culture and Communication Programme University of London Institute of Education July 2002 It is time for any of us who were tempted to think that way to do some serious rethinking. "Man's capacity for justice makes democracy possible, but man's inclination to injustice makes democracy necessary." Reinhold Niebuhr "Democracy encourages the majority to decide things about which the majority is blissfully ignorant." John Simon "If you want to understand democracy, spend less time in the library with Plato and more time on the buses with people." Simeon Strunskey "If voting changed anything, they'd abolish it." Anonymous " "Smart-assed quotations about democracy are cheap and easy. The practice of democracy is expensive, hard, and requires the process of education." Robert Ferguson

Serving Educators Around The World Media Literacy Review Media Literacy Online Project - College of Education - University of Oregon - Eugene Remarks before the Learning Channel Media Literacy Conference Senator Joe Lieberman Remarks before the Learning Channel Media Literacy Conference July 16, 1996 I want to thank the Learning Channel and the Show Coalition for organizing this event and inviting me to participate in it. The fundamental question before us today and before the whole media literacy movement is summed up in the title of this panel: "Why Media Literacy is important in an Information Age." The answer starts with the fact that we are in the midst of a very real revolution that is touching every facet of our life, from how we work to how we play and to how we communicate and interact with one another. In fact, it 1s literally reshaping the globe. The distance between nations and peoples is growing so small that if John Kennedy were to visit cyberspace today, he might be tempted to proclaim, "Ich Bin Ein On-liner!" Our ability to make sense of these transforming changes is going to dictate to a large extent how much this revolution will energize us as a nation, and how much it will simply set our heads spinning and ultimately strengthen the forces that are pushing our kids and our country down. Put another way, I think it is inescapable reality that in a new era dominated by a new array of media that we will need a new definition and form of literacy.

45. Media Literacy And Public Access TV Training Access classes need to teach a diverse group of people a lot of informationin a short amount of time. To add media literacy is a dilemma. http://interact.uoregon.edu/MediaLit/mlr/readings/articles/public.html

Serving Educators Around The World Media Literacy Review Media Literacy Online Project - College of Education - University of Oregon - Eugene Media Literacy and Public Access TV Training Authors: Jesikah Maria Ross and Barbara Osborne Source: Stratagies For Media Literacy Forward Public access television advocates seek to democratize the media by empowering community members to make their own TV programs free of the conventions and restrictions inherent in commercial programming. Ironically, given the opportunity to produce and cablecast, many access users uncritically mimic the conventions of commercial broadcasting, limitations and all. Access has provided the public with the power to produce and to be heard, but over the last two decades it is clear that equipment, technical knowledge, and an airdate are only half the battle. Media literacy (learning to both critically analyze and produce media) teaches people to identify and to question the language of television, its conventions, and its political and economic underpinnings. It also teaches people the nuts and bolts of video production. Obviously, access training already teaches the production part of media literacy. Learning to frame a shot, selecting takes in editing, and other aspects of the production process reveal the "constructedness" and values inherent in all television production. But most of the time, access trainers don't make these connections explicit or contextualize them within the framework of the dominant model of commercial television. Without these connections, which they often do not make their own, access users tend to produce what many trainers refer to as "broadcast clones." As Boston freelance producer Tim Wright put it, "Access has been very good at making users media literate inasmuch as they become aware of how TV is made." But, he adds, "They've been less successful in getting users to reflect on dominant TV forms, their limitations, why they exist, and who they serve."

47. Media Literacy be better consumers. Some media literacy programs also teach childrenhow to use various mediums themselves. According to the Aspen http://www.zmag.org/zmag/articles/feb98peters.htm

Media Literacy By Cynthia Peters When my daughter came home from kindergarten telling me that her school was teaching her about the media, advertising, and such things as toy packaging, I was impressed. She was beginning to get the tools necessary to think critically about the blizzard of advertising and commercialism we confront everyday. It’s always been clear that no matter how much parents de-emphasize TV or avoid the malls and the Disney stores, kids will be hit hard by the corporations that want them to consume their products and their values. We can’t protect kids from all the media messages, but we can empower them to be critical. We can make them "media literate," the goal, I discovered, of an important political movement that has gained momentum in the last few years. With programs sprouting all over the country, finding outlets in schools and churches, the media literacy movement aims to equip children with the skills they need to critically view commercials and be better consumers. Some media literacy programs also teach children how to use various mediums themselves. According to the Aspen Institute Leadership Forum on Media Literacy (1992) and the Canadian Association for Media Literacy, media literacy is the ability to "access, analyze, evaluate and produce communication in a variety of forms." Is this a long overdue anti-corporate critique of the media? Not exactly. The people who preach media literacy hail from all over the political spectrum. Their funding sources are everything from the Catholic Church to Disney Corporation and MTV. They use media literacy as a tool to counter whatever media messages they find particularly abhorrent or as a neutral form of "education."

We placed a call for people to provide information on some historical evidence of media literacy in an area of the world. This "history," for example, ignores the work done by the British, Australians and many others for which we do not have time to explore. According to John Pungente, media literacy can be traced back to the 18th century! Those that did contact me wanted people to know of the small and sometimes big way individuals and organizations have contributed to the media literacy movement world-wide. Some individuals were upset that the history seemed too Canadian; others found it "disturbing" that the Americans were getting so much credit. Thanks to all who provided feedback. Take this page as informationalnot historical or chronological and complete in any way. The media literacy movement has been gaining momentum for many years. In Canada, particularly Ontario, media literacy has been around since the 1970s as stand-alone credits. The Association of Media Literacy, based in Toronto offers guidance, resources and all around expertise to educators wanting to become themselves more media literate, as well as desiring to enlighten students about advertising, television, and movies.

The new English curriculum consists of four strands Literature Studies and Reading Writing Language Media Studies The following excerpt is taken from the curriculum guide for English regarding Media Studies: Because of the pervasive influence in our lives of print and electronic media, it is important for students to learn how to understand and interpret media works. In the English Program, students should have frequent opportunities to analyze various aspects of media communications, including key elements of the works themselves, the audience and production codes and practices. Students should also learn about the media through the process of creating their own media works, using a range of technologies to do so. By working in the various media to communicate their own ideas, students will develop critical thinking skills and understand at first hand how media works are designed to influence audiences and reflect the perspectives of their creators. Students will also develop production skills that may open up career opportunities in the entertainment and communications industries. Students should be encouraged to appreciate the media as sources of personal information and pleasure.

Appearance and relationships are stressed for women while careers are most important for men.

J363 Media literacy project Spring 1999/Reese This project would require doing some background reading on the media literacy movement, approaches, etc., identifying a public school in the Austin area, making arrangements with a teacher, and making a media/press literacy presentation to the class, which would ideally include some audio-visual component. It would involve coordinating and meeting with the teacher to review techniques for effective presentation and with the instructor for feedback. Your materials would be put on the class web site, and a short presentation would be made to the 363 class as well. A written report (5 pages, typed) by each member of the group would review your experience with the project, problems and benefits, and connect your experience with class concepts. A written lesson plan (2 or 3 pages) will be turned in as well. The media literacy class project is intended to help journalism students engage and learn communication theory more effectively. By selecting a communication issue and designing a way to teach it to others, you approach your own learning from a different perspective. This idea is related to the idea of "service learning," an educational movement that advocates connecting the academy to the needs of the larger community, and, in doing so, creates an experiential learning opportunity for students and a lesson in civic education. Therefore, a significant portion of the project will be your own reflection on the problems you encountered, things you learned, connections with class isseus, and so forth.

About Community Bad Ideas Drugs ... ABOUT Media Literacy: How the Media Constructs Reality by Media Literacy Resource Guide KEY CONCEPTS 1. All media are CONSTRUCTIONS. 2. All media construct REALITY. 3. AUDIENCES negotiate meaning in media. 4. Media have COMMERCIAL implications. 5. Media contain IDEOLOGICAL and VALUE messages. 6. Media have SOCIAL and POLITICAL implications. 7. Media have UNIQUE AESTHETIC FORM that is closely related to CONTENT. Reprinted from Media Literacy Resource Guide: Intermediate and Senior Division. Toronto: Ontario Ministry of Education, 1989. Key Concepts of Media Literacy Explained 1. Media are mediated communication. They are not "slices of life," "windows on the world," or "mirrors of society." They are carefully manufactured constructs with nothing left to chance. They are not, by definition, "real," although they attempt to imitate reality. The success of these manufactured constructs lies in their apparent naturalness. Our job as media educators is to make media "strange" and problematic to students. 2. Although media are not real, they can shape our attitudes, behavior and ideas about the world. The WWII broadcaster, Walter Lippman called it "the world outside and the pictures in our heads." If we haven't had first-hand experience with a person, place or thing and yet we feel we know something about it based on media information, then media has constructed a form of reality for us. Our job as media educators is to question media culture and to teach our students to think about reality vs. mediated information.

View article without comments Media Literacy: A Guide for teachers by tyler Monday January 12, 2004 at 09:02 PM The primary concern surrounding the lack of media literacy is the inability of people to understand the underlying implications of the media they consume. Media Literacy: A Guide for Teachers We have named excessive consumerism, ignorance of current affairs, anti-social and self-destructive tendencies, and, perhaps most dangerous of all, susceptibility to propaganda, as common results of lack of media literacy. The goal of media literacy education is not to directly combat these. It is not to espouse an anti-media philosophy and it does not directly conform to any particular political values. The goal of media literacy education is to provide people with the ability to think critically about the media messages that they are confronted with, to understand the reasons they have been made, the real meaning of the concepts, philosophies, and politics they promote, and the often vast amount of information that is left unstated. From there, they may make their own opinions, becoming more capable and conscientious citizens and human beings. Media literacy education is about empowerment and responsibility. There is no need for us to get into the details of teaching media literacy in this article, as many others have already done so much better than we could. Below are a few websites which will be extremely helpful to anyone who wishes to teach media literacy.
