The future of media literacy is in the hands of our students today.
Growing up in a media saturated world, they have the technological fluency, the passion and the creativity not just to continue but to expand and transform the work of their teachers and mentors.
A few years ago, if one wanted to study media literacy formally, you would have to go to Europe. But now nearly 20 universities and colleges in the United States offer graduate courses and even degree programs in the field. And opportunities for innovative graduate programs are growing rapidly.
Indeed it is though the networking and exchange opportunities at the student level that NAMLE is growing both in the USA and internationally.
Low-Cost Student Membership: $35
