A new paper, "Digital and Media Literacy: A Plan of Action," outlines specific steps that policymakers, educators and community leaders can take to strengthen citizens' digital and media literacy skills. There is a strong role to be played by formal education, says Renee Hobbs, professor and director of the Media Education Lab at Temple and the paper's author. Digital and media literacy education should be incorporated into teacher preparation programs in order to educate teachers on how to teach children those skills.
