In
this report, authors Monica Bulger and Patrick Davison make five
recommendations to guide the future of media literacy programming for
educators, legislators, technologists, and philanthropists in the space.
Specifically, they warn against the treatment of media literacy as a
panacea–particularly at a time when significant resources continue to be pushed
toward media literacy programs as a counter balance to “fake news.”
The report recommends the following
approaches:
- Developing a coherent understanding of the
media environment
- Improve cross-disciplinary collaboration
- Leverage the current media crisis to
consolidate stakeholders
- Prioritize the creation of a national media
literacy evidence base
- Develop curricula for addressing action in addition to interpretation
