Media Literacy as an Internal and External Process. A Response to "Red States, Blue States, and Media Literacy: Political Context and Media Literacy"
Matthews, Jolie C.
Democracy & Education, v28 n1 Article 7 2020
Curry and Cherner's article, "Red States, Blue States, and Media Literacy: Political Context and Media Literacy," discusses preservice teachers' perspectives of teaching media literacy skills in politically opposite "Red" and "Blue" States. In this response, I argue the inclusion of additional demographic information about participants might open up new avenues for which to analyze the data. I also address how the article theoretically takes up media literacy as well what other definitions exist, with suggestions for how the term might be expanded to include internal (self-reflective) and external (outside sources) processes for students and educators to consider. [This article is in response to "Red States, Blue States, and Media Literacy: Political Context and Media Literacy." For this article, see EJ1232193.]
