Media Literacy Now informs and drives policy change at local, state, & national levels in the U.S. to ensure all K-12 students are taught media literacy so that they become confident & competent media consumers and creators.

The messages, images, information, and experiences we engage with every day through media help shape our beliefs, attitudes, values, & identity. Media can entertain, inform, & engage children in positive ways, but the negative impact that media can have on our children is profound & extensive. 

Like reading or math, media literacy is learned. The ability to navigate within our complex and ever-changing media landscape depends on acquiring skills and tools to know how to consume and evaluate information, ask critical questions, avoid manipulation, and engage in digital spaces safely and confidently. Unfortunately, these skills are not widely taught to our young people – yet.

Media Literacy Now works to ensure media literacy is taught in all K-12 classrooms - learn more and join the movement at medialiteracynow.org.
