Correct me if I'm wrong... isn't Media Literacy dealing with making
students aware of the manipulations of the media (newspapers, tv,
radio, advertisements, etc.) to get consumers to think, feel, buy as
instructed by them as opposed to our Library Media and Information
Literacy? I seem to recall someone in New Mexico who had developed a
program called this. I saw him at a educational tech conference years
ago. I'd find you a link, but I have to get to school.
If the professor is writing a book about this "Media Literacy," it is
appropriate to have a section dealing with how library media teachers
address this particular subject. As we teach evaluating websites and
other reference sources, we do this.
