The Reading Room

Shhhhh! You're in the Reading Room. Please turn off your cell phones and spit out your gum. This is where we post a couple of key works that outline some of the central debates within the media literacy field. But that's not all! We also link you to some other lists and yet ANOTHER reading room sans the strict librarian and boasting a bling-bling bibliography. We also hope to someday post a Top Ten list of Media Literacy articles. Please submit your nominations to Chris.
