Princípios para uma literacia mediática

A Alliance for a Media Literate America está a propor aos seus membros a ratificação de um conjunto de princípios destinados a nortear as actividades de todos aqueles que se preocupam com a educação para uma literacia mediática. As principais linhas de força do documento são seis. A saber:

1. Media Literacy Education requires active inquiry and critical thinking about the messages we receive and create.
2. Media Literacy Education expands the concept of literacy (i.e., reading and writing) to include all forms of media.
3. Media Literacy Education builds and reinforces skills for learners of all ages. Like literacy, those skills necessitate integrated, interactive, and repeated practice.
4. Media Literacy Education develops informed, reflective and engaged participants essential for a democratic society.
5. Media Literacy Education recognizes that media are a part of culture and function as agents of socialization.
6. Media Literacy Education affirms that people use their individual skills, beliefs and experiences to construct their own meanings from media messages.
