Interested in pursuing your graduate studies in media literacy? Take a look at the Master’s Degree in Media Literacy and Digital Culture at Sacred Heart University. This program’s cutting edge approach to media studies will teach you to analyze and create media in all forms, and use digital media to make a difference.

We’re the Media Education Foundation. Media education and media literacy are literally at the heart of who we are and what we do. Beyond our videos, all of which address issues around media education, we also have handouts like 10 Reasons Why Media Literacy Matters, 20 Ways to be a Media Activist, and How to Be a Critical Media Viewer.

Here’s an event to watch out for: the International Critical Media Literacy Conference. Held in February 2018 in Savannah, GA, this multidisciplinary conference is designed to aid current educational leaders in their understanding of the mass media and its impact on the events that shape our daily lives.
