Half-baked ideas about ‘media literacy’ will lead us nowhere: we need a comprehensive and coherent educational approach. We all need to think critically about how media work, how they represent the world, and how they are produced and used.    In this manifesto, leading scholar David Buckingham makes a passionate case for media education. He outlines its key aims and principles, and explores how it can and should be updated to take account of the changing media environment.    Concise, authoritative and forcefully argued, The Media Education Manifesto is essential reading for anyone involved in media and education, from scholars and practitioners to students and their parents.","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56302160806261,"sku":"9781509535880","price":14.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9781509535880_b09bbf62-7956-4fae-8fdc-167d9c1e7a18.jpg?v=1786021648"},{"product_id":"9781509569472","title":"The End of Information: Media, Knowledge and Educa tion in a Post–Truth Age","description":"Are we really living in a post-truth age? Have ideas like information, knowledge and truth passed their sell-by date? Is 'information disorder' leading to the terminal decline of democracy? Or will fact-checkers, media regulators and educators come to the rescue?The End of Information cuts through the exaggerated claims that have been made about these issues. Interrogating the key terms in the debate, including trust, democracy, news, and information itself, the book offers a clear-eyed evaluation of potential solutions to the problems involved. It also considers the implications for education in relation to key issues such as literacy and knowledge. It argues that we need to look not just at the symptoms of information disorder but also at their wider political and economic causes; and it suggests that these will not be amenable to a simple 'information fix'.   Accessibly written by a leading scholar in the field, this book provides a clear introduction to the information disorders of our times and some fresh thinking about how they can be addressed. Concise, engaging and incisive, it is essential reading for students, scholars and teachers alike.","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56368946086261,"sku":"9781509569472","price":15.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9781509569472.jpg?v=1786022406"},{"product_id":"media-education","title":"Media Education","description":"This book examines recent changes in media education and in young people's lives, and provides an accessible set of principles on which the media curriculum should be based, with a clear rationale for pedagogic practice.","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57481665675637,"sku":"9780745628301","price":17.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9780745628301.jpg?v=1786089951"},{"product_id":"developing-media-literacy-in-young-adults","title":"Developing Media Literacy in Young Adults","description":"\u003cp\u003eWhat are children of different ages capable of understanding about media?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHow does their learning develop over time?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHow can their learning about one aspect of media impact upon their learning about other areas?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eDeveloping Media Literacy\u003c\/em\u003e is a succinct introduction to contemporary approaches to media education.
