Written by Renee Hobbs, this report offers a plan of action for how to bring digital and media literacy education into formal and informal settings through a community education movement. The report defines digital and media literacy as a constellation of life skills that are necessary for full participation in our media-saturated, information-rich society. The report is the second in a series of white papers commissioned by the Aspen Institute and the Knight Foundation to implement the recommendations of the Knight Commission on the Information Needs of Communities in a Democracy.
