The Center for Media and Information Literacy was established in 2012 at the School of Media and Communication, Temple University as a hub for research, outreach, education, and professional development on issues involving media literacy and information literacy locally, nationally, and internationally.
The work is strategically aligned around three areas:
Scholarship: Develop projects and partnerships that examine the impact of media and technology, with a focus on media literacy education and a focus on children’s media content.
Media industry: Encourage the integration of media literacy and information literacy principles in content developed for television, online, gaming, and other media.
Community service: Provide community outreach, public programs, and media technology, with a focus on media literacy education and a focus on children’s media content educational services targeted to the needs of youth and local school and after-school educators.
