Media is No Longer a Spectator Sport - 11.27.2017 Webinar
Channel: Media Education Lab Webinars
Date: 28/11/2017

It’s game time and we all have to get in the ring. Media literacy has long been an largely academic study, but... times demand we start getting some street cred - which starts by opening up the architecture of these ivory towers. Everyone has space in this place of critical thinking about media - on a daily basis. Arresting Knowledge and Tribeworthy are two examples of projects that ask the PUBLIC to join us. This webinar will focus on the how these projects are just the beginning of making news and media literacy not just for breakfast anymore. Too many metaphors?  Jump in on the this dynamic webinar and dig in with us. Be a collaborator  - we are just getting started!
