New Agendas in Communication

New Agendas in Communication is a part of a series of media education and communication books.  Media literacy has become a fast paced movement in not only education but business and medical fields.  It amazes me how quickly the media literacy movement has grown and advanced over the past couple of years.

Media literacy is broadly defined as media education for students and youth, but the concept has expanded to adults, educators and businesses.  In today's fast-paced society, it is beneficial to have a strong understanding of media literacy and its many advantages.  Particularly, it is important as educators to gain an understanding of media literacy and what it means and how we can apply it both inside and outside the classroom.

This volume provides scholarly data from various contributors in the world of media literacy, along with classroom examples and activities using media literacy.  It is important to expose this concept to our students, especially at a young age, after all, they are the leaders of our future.  This book is a valuable tool for educators to refer to practices, lessons and ways to incorporate media literacy into the curriculum and the educational classroom.
