Description
This book offers a systematic study of media education in Latin America. 
As spending on technological infrastructure in the region increases 
exponentially for educational purposes, and with national curriculums 
beginning to implement media-related skills, this book makes a timely 
contribution to new debates surrounding the significance of media 
literacy as a citizen’s right. Taking both a topical and country-based 
approach, authors from across Latin America present a comprehensive 
perspective of the region and address issues such as the political and 
social contexts in which media education is based, the current state of 
educational policies with respect to media, organizations and 
experiences that promote media education
