Media Literacy for Justice : Lessons for Changing the World, Paperback / softback Book

Media Literacy for Justice : Lessons for Changing the World Paperback / softback

Paperback / softback

Description

Providing context, reflection points, and ready-to-use lesson plans, this powerful book illuminates the intersections of social justice and media literacy for educators, school and public librarians, teachers of history and civics, information literacy instructors, and community leaders. The corrosive effects of today’s relentless tide of media are pernicious.

We are conditioned in many ways by our media environments to accept and not question, making it crucial that young people master the skills necessary to access, analyze, evaluate, and create media.

De Abreu and her fellow contributors propose that a key solution to our society’s crisis of misinformation, misrepresentation, and misunderstanding lies in melding social justice aims with media literacy concepts and skills.
