Whether you’re focused on your classroom, home, community, or constituents, we have a number of resources and tools available to help you advocate for media literacy education. The MLN Resource Library is offered as one convenient source of information, like any other library.

Resource Highlight

 

We all have a role to play in getting media literacy education into more classrooms! Our *new* Advocacy Toolkit for Parents and Individuals outlines the need for media literacy education and provides ideas, activities, and resources to help you get started.

Each year, we publish the Media Literacy Policy Report outlining the status of media literacy education laws for K-12 schools in the U.S.. The most recent report was released in February 2024 and shows the significant progress of state-level policymakers as well as other organizations and key institutions and individuals to recognize an urgent need for media literacy education and to take action.
