David Buckingham takes the pulse of media education today,
insightfully surveying the field, probing the debates and
controversies, assessing out motives for teaching the media but
leaving us a road map for map for the future. Covering both
analysis and production, including the new digital technologies,
this book is a must-have for the serious media
teacher.’
Barry Duncan, media education consultant, Toronto
‘Media Education offers a comprehension overview of the
debates, the theories and the principles that have underprinned the
teaching of media, and makes a clear and urgent case for how it
should proceed in the future. Buckingham provides a thorough and
convincing rationale for a form of media education that is both
theoretically sound and practically possible.’
Dr Sue Turnbell, La Trobe University
‘Buckingham marshals all his considerable talent to define
the field of media education in an engaging and compelling style.
This inspiring book moves educational reform ahead by light
years.’
Kathleen Tyner, author of Literacy in a Digital World
