Listed here are both on-line and off-line resources which may be useful in finding out more about media literacy...

On-line Resources:

  • Media Literacy On-Line Project This site has links to a wide variety of media sources for parents, teachers, and students. There are readings, reference and support materials, organizations, discussion groups, announcements and events listings, and search resources. Information on interactive learning is also present. This is one of the best resources I found for media literacy information.

  • Media Education Foundation The Media Education Foundation web site features media literacy resources, which includes a video catalog with ordering information and explanations about MEF. This site also provides its users with email links to prominent people in the field of cultural studies and media literacy.

  • Media Launchpad Media Launchpad is an informative site for students, teachers, and those who are interested in studying media literacy. It provides links to publications (some which can only be found on the Internet), resources for implementing media education into schools, as well as links to information on popular cultural (e.g. music, movies, sports, television).

  • Strategies for Media Literacy This site (found on Media Literacy: Inquiring Minds Want to Know: What is Media Literacy?) provides links to additional media education organizations, teacher and parent resources, and provides background facts and articles about the media. Within Strategies for Media Literacy, there is a nice gopher connection to a multitude of on-line articles related to media literacy.

  • Center for Media Literacy The Center for Media Literacy currently has a 1996 Media Literacy Resource Catalog which allows browsers to directly mail-order books and/or videos, and has links to other media literacy web sites. It also has information about Media Literacy Conferences.

  • The Media and Communication Studies Page This British-based site focuses on the academic study of media and communication. It provides links to various theories of the media and advertising, film, TV, and radio studies, issues of gender, ethnicity and class, media education, and more!

  • LiveText - Media Literacy Pedagogy This site compiles a listing of various resources related to the media, pedagogy, media literacy centers, media culture and content, women in the media, and critical cultural studies. Try checking out topics such as "Curricula and Centers (Media Literacy)," "Women in Media," Television: Information and Analysis," "Media Surfs," "Technology & Educational Reform," "Educational Technology Policy," "Technology and School Reculturing," "New Media and Learning."
