About this product
Product Information
The blurring of entertainment, information, and persuasion is reshaping work, life, and citizenship. As a result, our relationship to media has never been so important nor so complex. By asking critical questions about what they watch, listen to, read, and use, students can be better prepared to be responsible communicators who can use a variety of formats and genres for self-expression and advocacy. Covering a wide range of topics including the rise of news partisanship, algorithmic personalization and social media, stereotypes and media addiction, advertising and media economics, and media influence on personal and social identity, Renee Hobbs helps students develop the lifelong learning competencies and habits of mind needed to navigate an increasingly complex media environment. Rooted in the best practices of media literacy pedagogy, Media Literacy in Action brings an interdisciplinary approach to media studies that engages students with the following features: * full-color layout * engaging questions to stimulate thoughtful dialogue and reflection * contemporary media examples designed to cultivate intellectual curiosity * suggested activities for advancing students' confidence in oral, written, and multimedia expression * access to videos and multimedia resources at www.medialiteracyaction.com

Reviews
Hobbs addresses a greatly underserved area within communications/media studies with a desperately needed undergraduate text combining empowerment and protectionist traditions that draws from the two main US media literacy traditions., Hobbs' approach not only allows students to broaden and deepen their knowledge of media literacy concepts but also to gain facility with hands-on tools and techniques for learning how to create, reflect, and act upon their own experiences with media and technology., In this book, Renee Hobbs does an important service to the field of media literacy by providing a timely and much needed textbook with a deep overview of what it means to be media literate. The reader can practice through the chapters how to access information, analyze and evaluate media messages, create message, reflect on your own consumption of media and act thoughtfully as media producers. The exercises and examples help instructors and students to learn through an inquiry process as they form their own opinion and master the craft of conveying media messages using various techniques., This textbook, aimed at high school students and college undergraduates, develops key concepts about media literacy and includes discussion questions to promote critical thinking related to media consumption. Each chapter begins with "Learning Outcomes." Also included are background information about particular aspects of media literacy and "Critical Questions" encouraging reader reflection. Historical material in each chapter provides highlights about an "Intellectual Grandparent" who represents groundbreaking foundational ideas on, e.g., gaming, music, digital citizenship, privacy, economics, and politics. "Create to Learn" activities, again in each chapter, ask students to apply ideas presented in the book, which comprises four parts. Recommended. Lower-division undergraduates. General readers., Hobbs'e(tm) approach not only allows students to broaden and deepen their knowledge of media literacy concepts but also to gain facility with hands-on tools and techniques for learning how to create, reflect, and act upon their own experiences with media and technology., In this book, Renee Hobbs does an important service to the field of media literacy by providing a timely and much needed textbook with a deep overview of what it means to be media literate.
