Be sure to check out the new edition of the Journal for Media Literacy Education. You'll find papers on news credibility, teaching with graphic novels and ideas for using blogs as teaching strategies. I hope you'll use the Journal to recharge your media literacy juices during these summer months when we can often carve out a little extra time for reading. The online Journal is also a great place to share comments and ideas about what you've read and generate discussion and best practice sharing. Hope your summer is going well. Safe travels!Sherri Hope Culver
