I worked briefly at The Center for Media Literacy -- it's a great, dedicated group of people.

Even though it's geared for k-12 teachers, there are some really good links on media literacy to be found at University of South Carolina's Media Literacy Clearinghouse.

You should check out MediaRights' Media That Matters Film Festival. The films stream online with take action links and are also available as a DVD so that you can host your own screening. The free Teacher's Guide has a lot Media Literacy exercises.

I was trying to figure out the other day if any of the news stories written about projects or events I was intimately involved with had ever been 100% correct, and couldn't come up with a single one. Hm....
Thanks for the links everyone, this is an important topic.

Isn't part of being media literate knowing how to engage your audience (or learning how the media engages its audience)? I see other metafilter postings here that provide some context of why you want to learn a subject, even if the descriptions are a little self-serving towards the intended links.
