1. The Media Education Manifesto
This manifesto argues that media education is an essential democratic practice, calling for a renewed, critically informed approach that combines analysis of media forms, institutions and industries with hands-on production and pedagogy. It critiques narrow skills-based or protectionist models, stresses the need to understand media’s cultural, political and economic power, and urges schools, policymakers and teacher training to embed media literacy across the curriculum so learners can navigate, create and participate responsibly in contemporary media environments while addressing inequalities and supporting civic agency.
