An Update for the Center for International Media Assistance
This report aims to take another snapshot of the current state of media literacy programs and revisit some of the questions that this new area of media development is raising. Looking forward, the subject deserves much
deeper research and examination. We need more data to understand how a country’s population gets access to information, understands it, and acts on it. We need more detailed spending figures to see how various donors are approaching this work and funding it. We also need more evaluations to see if this work has meaningful impact. So while “Media Literacy 2.0” is still far from the final word on the topic, it does begin to surface some revealing examples of emerging approaches.
