Media Literacy Education

I grew up going to two separate high schools and I don't recall either of them providing much education about the media. One of my high schools did have a student news cast, but it ran during our lunch hour on a small television in the cafeteria. It's not surprising that no one payed any attention to it.

Both of my schools did have a school newspaper, BUT neither were very informative. They were both mostly about our school, the people in it and our sports teams. I don't really remember ever being shown the real "news."

I have never heard of the channel 1 everyone was talking about in class the other day. Neither of my schools offered that.

So as far as formal media education... I didn't have much until I got to college.

This is a hint that I will probably be a shameless copycat for the next post.
