Media Literacy: Some Historical Context
Abstract
This chapter sets the foundation of the book by giving a historical overview of media literacy research and education. The chapter looks back at the 1990s and 2000s and the media literacy scholarship that came out during those periods. In many ways, these texts set the standard for media literacy research, as well as media literacy pedagogy and curriculum development. The chapter continues by looking at where media literacy scholarship is today – the challenges seen in students and in media literacy education itself. Americans have access to more information than any other time in human history, but they are also resistant to facts and opinions that challenge their own thoughts. Although there has been much progress in media education, there is also still an extreme need for it.
