[ecrea] A Manifesto for Media Education

> My colleague Pete Fraser and I would like to 
> draw your attention to a project we are 
> co-ordinating entitled â??A Manifesto for Media Educationâ??.
>
> 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.
>
> To kick-start the manifesto we asked a few media 
> educators to provide us with their view on the 
> purpose of media education (media 
> studies/practice/production and media literacy). 
> On the website you will find contributions from?
> Prof Henry Jenkins, Prof Natalie Fenton, Prof 
> David Gauntlett, Prof David Buckingham, Cary 
> Bazalgette, Nik Powell, Dr Julian McDougall, 
> Prof David Hesmondhalgh, Vítor Reia-Baptista, Dr Nick Potamitis
>
> This initial set of contributions is only a 
> starting point and is not supposed to represent 
> the breadth and depth of our subject. Thatâ??s where you come in?
> I hope you will visit the website 
> http://www.manifestoformediaeducation.co.uk/ 
> read the initial contributions, comment on those 
> contributions and then write your own more lengthy rationale
>
> Thanks
> Jon
