review of media literacy sessions at ICA 2008

The fourth edition of the Gender and Media Diversity Journal focuses on the topic of media, activism and change. It explores various aspects of media activism – how media itself plays an activist role and how activists are increasingly using the media more pro-actively on issues as diverse as gender, HIV/AIDS, children's rights and governance. It raises some complex questions about the ethics and accountability related to activism and journalism. |

Digital Visual Literacy. Even
though the event was aimed at a higher ed audience, I think many in K-12
education can learn from what
these folks are advocating. By registering at their homepage, above, you can gain access to and download their FREE
teaching modules.
