Standardized K-12 media literacy education is scarce in schools across the country. But with an ever-evolving media landscape, navigating today’s information overflow with skill is crucial. Three students – high school seniors Charlie Meyers and Diego Perez Palomino, and college freshman Aylah Hopper – share what they think is the best approach to teaching young people how to critically engage with the media they consume and create. We’ll also hear from Donnell Probst, deputy director of the National Association of Media Literacy Education, about the importance of media literacy education.
