A Report by Tessa Jolls

Visiting Scholar, UCLouvain
President, Center for Media Literacy


What is the ecosystem for media literacy in NATO countries? How can media literacy contribute to citizens' readiness? What are recommendations for next steps? CML's president Tessa Jolls provides a comprehensive overview and a road to follow in seeing that media literacy becomes part of every nation's cultural fabric.

The results of a new Fulbright-NATO Security Studies Award are now available through a just-released report, “Building Resiliency: Media Literacy as a Strategic Defense Strategy for the Transatlantic,” by the Center for Media Literacy’s President, Tessa Jolls. This ground-breaking report highlights aspects of the current information ecosystem and the state of media literacy in NATO countries. “With media literacy becoming more urgent due to a fraught information environment marked by disinformation and misinformation,” Jolls said, “I set out to provide a snapshot of current media literacy practices and programs, and to give a context for media literacy education within strategic defense.”

Funded by a partnership between the NATO Public Diplomacy Division and the Fulbright Commission in Brussels, this unique award invites American academics and professionals to conduct a research or professional project that fosters awareness and understanding of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO). Jolls fulfilled her assignment in Brussels in 2021 through her host university, UCLouvain, where she served as a Visiting Scholar. She interviewed more than 60 policy makers, media executives and journalists, media literacy researchers and practitioners, and educators throughout NATO countries, and conducted a small 2022 survey of practitioners to identify major media literacy conferences, organizations, and programs.
