[eccr] Who needs media literacy? Public debate

>Dear colleagues,
>
>I'd like to invite you to a public debate entitled, 'Who needs media
>literacy?' being held in London on 28 July from 6:00-7:30.  The aim of
>the debate will be to generate a dialogue between researchers the
>policy-makers who are responsible for this area. How do researchers define
>media literacy, and what do they know about it? How does media literacy
>develop, and how can it best be promoted or taught? And what do
>policy-makers need to know about media literacy? The session will be 
>introduced by David Buckingham (Institute of Education), and will feature 
>short presentations from three leading researchers in this area: Henry 
>Jenkins (MIT), Mizuko Ito (University of Southern California) and Sonia
>Livingstone (LSE). These will be followed by brief responses from
>policy-makers: Cary Bazelgette (bfi), Robin Blake (Ofcom) and Sylvia Hines 
>(BBC). There will then be an opportunity for dialogue and debate among the
>audience.
>
>The event will take place at the Institute of Education's Logan Hall,
>Bedford Way, London WC1, and will be followed by a drinks reception. It
>will be open to the public as well as to delegates at the 'Digital
>Generations' conference (which runs from 26th-29th July). 'Digital
>Generations: Children, Young People and New Media' is a major international
>conference, bringing together over 200 researchers from more than 35
>countries. For more details, see:
