Home Media Literacy Curriculum The New York Times Newspaper in Education Program announces a free, online guide for middle school educators, Media Literacy for Drug Prevention. It can be found at: www.nytimes.com/learning/teachers/NIE/medialiteracy The ten lessons in the guide use the newspaper as a springboard to teach students to recognize media influences that can affect their decisions about substance use. The curriculum helps students develop critical thinking about the exposure to illicit drugs, alcohol and tobacco that they receive through movies, TV, radio, print and other media. The lessons include reproducible student worksheets and activities to do at home and are correlated with national standards. The guide is formatted as PDF files that can be downloaded and printed out, ready for classroom use.

submit article search main Helping Your Children Become Media Wise Posted by Dr. Ted Baehr on Wednesday July 31, @01:33PM from the teach-your-children-well- dept. Most families are concerned about the influence of media violence on their children, but many families don’t know what to do about the problem. The good news is that there are effective ways to teach your children to be media-wise. As director of the TV Center at City University of New York, I helped develop some of the first media literacy courses in the late 1970s. Since then, years of research have produced a very clear understanding of how to teach media literacy. There are four pillars of media wisdom. The first is understanding the influence of the media, which may be titled, “breaking the bonds of denial.” As Dale Kunkel, professor at the University of California, Santa Barbara, points out, after thousands of intensive studies in this area, only one significant researcher still denies the influence of the media, and that researcher last did real research in this area in the mid-1980s. In the wake of the Columbine High School massacre, CBS president Leslie Moonves put it quite bluntly, “Anyone who thinks the media has nothing to do with this is an idiot” (Associated Press, 05/19/99). Thus the American Psychological Association's report on media violence concludes, "There is absolutely no doubt that those who are heavy viewers of violence demonstrate increased acceptance of aggressive attitudes and increased aggressive behavior."

Goals and Objectives [HOME] [GMSC] [NEWS] [TV REVIEWS] [MOVIE REVIEWS] [RESEARCH] [LINKS] [CABLE LINKS] [GMSC EARTHLY HOME] From various conversations, meetings and conferences, we are proposing a three-fold objective for the Gabriel Media Studies Center (GMSC). We realize this may be too many directions to pursue at one time; however, presently we feel it is appropriate to explore these areas to see which ones will bear the most fruit. Below we will attempt to explain briefly the purpose and goals we see in each objective. I. Working with the laity (general public) for a greater appreciation of the spirituality to be found in the media. This was the initial thrust of the Youth Resource Network. While we were producing our radio program, "Poppin’ Out America," we encouraged our listeners to find God working in all facets of their lives by demonstrating how the secular media might aid them in their discernment. In all our discussions about the media, we held and attempted to spread our belief that God was indeed working through the media. This followed along the lines of the Jesuit charism of finding God in all things. Over the years, since the demise of "Poppin’ Out America," our search to discover God working through the media has been influenced and modified along the lines of the media literacy movement in the U.S. Media literacy attempts to teach young people and others to be "more critical and reflective consumers (utilizers) of the media." The GMSC agrees with the goals and methods of media literacy and supports the movement, and has become a member of the National Telemedia Council and the Center for Media Literacy.

With the average adolescent spending more than 23 hours per week watching television, media literacy is an important issue that cannot be ignored. NATAS has created an easy to use curriculum to teach students how to analyze and evaluate television programs and content for themselves. Media Literacy Project (MLP), formerly known as Creating Critical Viewers, uses several short workshop or chapter sessions to enhance teenager's knowledge of television and programming. It seeks to do several things, including: raise student's awareness of their viewing habits; help them differentiate between the different elements of fantasy and reality; assist them in developing the ability to identify subtle, as well as obvious, characteristics of TV characters and messages; and to help students recognize the distortions and risks of imitation produced by TV's frequent portrayals of violence. The curriculum is taught using various approaches, including the use of classroom presentations by media members, field trips to local television stations to view the preparation and airing of a newscast, and video presentation. This curriculum can be taught right in the classroom with the teacher as facilitator.

86. The YNN Show And Media Literacy I somehow doubt if the YNN show intends for media literacy to teachstudents the kinds of lessons listed above. YNN, like our present http://interact.uoregon.edu/MediaLit/CAMEO/ynn/22.html

CANADIAN ASSOCIATION OF MEDIA EDUCATION ORGANIZATIONS The YNN Show and Media Literacy By Chris Worsnop. YNN says that exposing students to daily doses of YNN news will develop media literacy. Sometimes we hear from YNN supporters that media literacy will be used to defuse the effects of the daily ads in the YNN show. There seems to be some conflict between these two views of media literacy. The first claims that media literacy has to do with finding out stuff about "news" through the media, specifically the YNN show. The second suggests that exposure to advertising can be a dangerous thing and that media literacy can help defend us against those dangers. One thinks of media as a totally good and benevolent thing, and the other seems to take exactly the opposite view. Well, the problem really is that the people making these statements do not know much about media literacy, and so they get it all mixed up. A shining example of people who know nothing about media literacy, and appear to be proud of it, can be found on the Peel Board's website where a totally one-sided version of the YNN show is offered for unsuspecting inquirers. In one thing they are right: media literacy is important. Most of the rest they have to say on the topic is gobbledygook. Who am I to say? Modesty forbids, but my media education credentials will be made available to any who wish to ask.

Press Conference Central Information on the optional media literacy project and useful media literacy resources Students interested in undertaking the project should contact Professor Reese. 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. As a field, journalism is intimately connected to the workings of democracy, and, as political scientist Benjamin Barber has argued, community service is crucial to the civic education needed for a healthy democracy: The university¹s mission is to teach citizenship, and community service is a vehicle. One service learning advocate calls it "a particular form of experiential education, one that emphasizes for students the accomplishments of tasks which meet human needs in combination with conscious education growth" (Stanton, in Luce, 1988) which must meet four criteria, defined by the National Community Service Act of 1990:
