This collection of nine essays on new media education examines the changing face of media in the twenty-first century and explores ways in which media education, both for journalists and for
consumers of journalism, can meet the challenges of an ever faster and more connected global information network. The material is divided into sections covering the theoretical models of news
literacy education and pedagogical models for teaching news literacy. Individual chapters discuss topics such as social media and political unrest, reaffirming "the journalist," the role of
multimedia storytelling in teaching global journalism, and deepening democracy through news literacy. Contributors include academics in media studies and journalism from programs around the
world. Annotation 穢2012 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
