Media, News, & Consumers: Exploring Media Literacy and Journalistic Responsibility is a collection of curated research, articles and essays.
The material in Media, News, & Consumers: Exploring Media Literacy and Journalistic Responsibility, provides necessary context for a course about media literacy and its relationship to journalism. Throughout its chapters, authors present key concepts and important theories to explain how our media works and the role of contemporary consumers. As we discuss media generally, we also will delve deeper into news as a subset of the overall media landscape.
Media, News, & Consumers: Exploring Media Literacy and Journalistic Responsibility explores the important responsibilities of a free press with an emphasis on our country’s marketplace of ideas, and critically assess the corruption caused by misinformation and disinformation – much of it intentionally created for nefarious purposes and amplified by social media networks that lack adequate curation and moderation.
