OverviewIn 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. 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. Concise, authoritative and forcefully argued, The Media Education Manifesto is essential reading for anyone involved in media and education, from scholars and practitioners to students and their parents.

By inviting educators to consider the value of a dialectical relationship between critical analysis and creative expression, Buckingham positions media literacy as an expanded conceptualization of literacy. He shows how, in England, media literacy policy was derailed as a result of the lack of grassroots support and deep buy-in from teachers, parents and the broader educational community in England. This manifesto attempts to correct that important problem.
