EUROPEAN COMMISSION TO PROMOTE MEDIA LITERACY
December 23rd 2007 06:27
Chinese news agency Xinhua reported that the European Commission will promote ‘media literacy,’ the ability to critically analyse what they find in the media and to make more informed choices. Viviane Reding, European Union commissioner for information society and media said, “In a digital era, media literacy is crucial for achieving full and active citizenship. The ability to read and write - or traditional literacy - is no longer sufficient in this day and age. People need a greater awareness of how to express themselves effectively, and how to interpret what others are saying, especially on blogs, via search engines or in advertising.”
