About The Book

The Handbook of Media Literacy Education is a pioneering resource that explores the rapid developments in media literacy, focusing on its evolution globally and the emergence of new literacies in the age of connective technologies, mobile platforms, and social networks. Unlike traditional frameworks, this handbook incorporates a global perspective, drawing upon contributions from scholars across all continents to highlight empirical research on the intersection of media, education, and daily life engagement.

The book is organized around five key themes: Educational Interventions, Safeguarding/Data and Online Privacy, Engagement in Civic Life, Media, Creativity and Production, and Digital Media Literacy. Each theme emphasizes the competencies necessary for meaningful participation in the digital culture. This volume is an essential read for anyone interested in the contemporary landscape of media literacy education, offering a comprehensive and forward-thinking examination of the field’s theoretical, conceptual, pedagogical, and methodological developments.

With contributions from notable experts in the field, this handbook provides both a critical and practical approach to media literacy, making it invaluable to educators, researchers, and practitioners who seek to understand and teach in the dynamic media environment of the 21st century.
