Book synopsis

Media and Information Literacy provides a novel rationale for the integration of media and information literacy, and gives direction to contemporary media and information literacy education. The book takes a synthetic approach to these two areas, giving critical histories of both. For example, exploring the influence of political forces and educational practice on media literacy, as opposed to the less political information literacy, a decedent of the earlier practices of library and bibliographic literacy and deeply linked to the more technology specific practices such as computer, technology and Information and Communications Technology (ICT) literacy. The book then explores the contemporary media environment, focusing on computing and mobile technology as a platform for existing and non-computational media. The final section considers a new rationale for the adjustment of content and activities into a combined project, building in a range of skills from contemporary media; reconsiders the mission of media literacy; and advocates that media and information literacy be expanded out of the class room and position itself as a �public pedagogy’. Proposes a new route direction for media and information literacyCombines critical histories of media literacy and information literacyIntegrates an account of technological development as a key driver to educational activities while retaining core progressive intentsInternational in scope with recognition of international agencies such as UNESCO and the UN
