Introducing media criticism as well as teaching about the media

In inter-disciplinary and across the curriculum teaching, this is the first critical reference book on the important curriculum initiatives taking place in media education.

The core of the book is a collection of essays on key concepts from media studies, including language, narrative, institution, audience, representation, and the production process.

Written by teachers for teachers, these essays organise ideas through classroom activities, with a full listing of teaching materials, resources, agencies, and publications in media education.
