News Literacy and Democracy invites readers to go beyond
surface-level fact checking and to examine the structures,
institutions, practices, and routines that comprise news media
systems. This introductory text underscores the importance of news
literacy to democratic life and advances an argument that critical
contexts regarding news media structures and institutions should be
central to news literacy education. Under the larger umbrella of
media literacy, a critical approach to news literacy seeks to
examine the mediated construction of the social world and the
processes and influences that allow some news messages to spread
while others get left out. Drawing on research from a range of
disciplines, including media studies, political economy, and social
psychology, this book aims to inform and empower the citizens who
rely on news media so they may more fully participate in democratic
and civic life. The book is an essential read for undergraduate
students of journalism and news literacy and will be of interest to
scholars teaching and studying media literacy, political economy,
media sociology, and political psychology.
