A
longside Facebook, Twitter, the Atlantic Council, the Alliance for Securing Democracy, NASED and IREX, I read a prepared statement about the importance of media literacy, the state of practice in the U.S. and recommendations to move things forward. You can read the statement
here
.
I take my role as a representative of the media literacy community very seriously, and I hope my statement is something that represents the community well. I had limited time and could not name all our partners or go into detail on the many programs out there. I am sorry for groups that were left out and points that were not made. I am confident there will be more opportunites to communicate about the amazing work you all do every day.
