A Manifesto for Media Education

[Frank W. Baker]

From the UK comes this new website (which the authors say will evolve into a book). From an email I received:  "The manifesto project is an attempt to develop a shared understanding, some shared reasons, for media education. We hope that by the end of the project (which will start life as a website and then result in a book) we will have a better, more sustaining understanding of the purpose of what we do and that we will be able to draw on this understanding to keep us on track in the classroom and in defending and advocating our subject in the future." It includes essays from most of UK's media ed leaders with a contribution from the US' Henry Jenkins. The site is encouraging contributions and feedback as well.
