The Media Education Manifesto Av David (Institute Of Education University Of London) Buckingham

<p>In the age of social media, fake news and data-driven capitalism, the need for critical understanding is more urgent than ever. Half-baked ideas about ¿media literacy¿ will lead us nowhere: we need a comprehensive and coherent educational approach. We all need to think critically about how media work, how they represent the world, and how they are produced and used.</p><p>In this manifesto, leading scholar David Buckingham makes a passionate case for media education. He outlines its key aims and principles, and explores how it can and should be updated to take account of the changing media environment.</p><p>Concise, authoritative and forcefully argued, <i>The Media Education Manifesto</i> is essential reading for anyone involved in media and education, from scholars and practitioners to students and their parents.</p>
