New Jersey | Media Literacy Now

Chapter Leader

Olga Polites, Leader of NJ Chapter of Media Literacy Now

I was a high school English from 1982-2022, and have taught college composition at Rowan University since 1999.

I’m grateful that New Jersey legislators came together and overwhelmingly supported a bill that ensures students will learn the critical thinking skills necessary to navigate our complex media world. This will protect them from online harm, improve their physical and emotional well-being, and help them become more engaged citizens.

To get media literacy legislation passed, that’s getting the grounds cultivated so that more seeds can get planted.

I don't know that without your input we would have been so passionate about this work in digital citizenship.” You've had a significant impact. It wouldn't have been on our radar screen”.

When you can see the legislative work being done in other places, and see the materials, it's easy to see myself in this role. I know I've got the support I will need.
