About the Author
In the current time, when media literacy is more urgently needed than ever, this scholarly volume reconstructs a history of how the study of media literacy began. Its ambition is to excavate the insights of the past, help us avoid repeating old mistakes and, most importantly, enrich today’s debates as we—scholars, educators, practitioners—now work together to ensure a more media literate society fit for the digital age.
