THE MEDIA AND ME - BEN BOYINGTON ALLISON T BUTL...

From foundations in critical thinking skills to practical tools and real-life perspectives 
this book empowers young adult readers to be independent media users.The Media and Me is a
joint production of The Censored Press and Triangle Square Books for Young Readers. During the
recent presidential election  media literacy became a buzzword that signified the threat media
manipulation posed to democratic processes. Meanwhile  statistical research has shown that 8 to
18 year-olds pack more than eleven hours with some form of media into each day by media
multitasking. Young people are not only eager and interested to learn about and discuss the
realities of media ownership  production  and distribution  they also deserve to understand
differential power structures in how media influences our culture. The Media and Me provides
readers with the tools and perspectives to be empowered and autonomous media users. The book
explores critical inquiry skills to help young people form a multidimensional comprehension of
what they read and watch  opportunities to see others like them making change  and insight into
their own identity projects. By covering topics like storytelling  building arguments and
recognizing fallacies  surveillance and digital gatekeeping  advertising and consumerism  and
global social problems through a critical media literacy lens  this book will help students
evolve from passive consumers of media to engaged critics and creators.
