Media Literacy Clearinghouse

The Media Literacy Clearinghouse is a nationally recognized media literacy resource website developed by Frank W. Baker. Thousands of schools and organizations link to the Media Literacy Clearinghouse and many of his resources have been recommended by: Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences; Access Learning; ASCD; Assn of Media Literacy; Australian Teachers of Media; Blueprint for Democracy; Cable In The Classroom; Education Week; Edutopia; INFOHIO; NCSS; NCTE; PBS; School Library Journal, and School Library Monthly.

This website was part of a project originally started by the late Dr. Pete Johnson at the USC School of Medicine. I am eternally grateful for its hosting of this site from 1998-2006.
