"'Transformative Practice in Critical Media Literacy' brings together a diverse selection of essays to examine the knowledge production crisis in higher education and the role that news media and technology play in this process. This text highlights the importance of radical pedagogy and critical media literacy to fight back and reclaim higher education as the battleground for democracy and the embodiment of citizenship. Using a global and social justice lens, it explores the transformative potential of critical media literacy in higher education, also providing real examples of current critical media literacy practices around the globe and of successful experiences inside classrooms. In an era of fake news, this text fulfills the yearning for critical media literacy to permeate higher education by drawing together practitioners and scholars speaking to journalism students, teacher candidates, and to students, scholars, and activists across a variety of spaces in higher education. This book will be a key resource for scholars, students, policy makers, community members and activists interested in education, politics, youth studies, critical theory, intersectionality, social justice and peace studies, activism, critical media literacy, communication or media studies"-- Provided by publisher.
