An accessible introduction to understanding the current media
environment and the culture it contains, this book provides an
indispensable guide to dynamic media literacy in the digital
environment. Katherine G. Fry draws from philosophies of technology
and communication, from media ecology, critical cultural theory,
and critical pedagogy to explain the dimensions of media
environments. Fry introduces an essential dynamic media environment
model that can be used as a framework for understanding global
social challenges. The model extends media literacy education and
practice by de-centering media messages, instead explaining media
as environments-as cultures created by and within our dominant form
of communication. Exploring progressive education philosophies that
advocate inclusion, independence, empathy, and critical thinking
toward problem-solving in a rapidly changing world, this book
includes media literacy examples, global case studies, exercises,
and learning tools to facilitate learning the full scope of the
current media environment. This book explores how the digital
communication environment operates on many dimensions so that we,
as citizens, as players within the shifting digital environment,
can act to shape it. Essential reading for students and scholars of
media and communication studies, media literacy and media
education, as well as other disciplines where media is used as a
lens to examine issues within society.
