Media Literacy in Action: Questioning the Media

by Renee Hobbs

Rapid convergence within the media environment has revolutionized the way people are using communication and technology. Our relationship to media has never been so important nor so complex.

To thrive in a media-saturated society, people need to ask critical questions about what we watch, listen to, read, and use. Covering topics from news and information to the internet to media consumption and addiction, media literacy leader Renee Hobbs gives students the tools to both empower and protect themselves while navigating our increasingly complex media environment.

Media Literacy in Action bring a fresh, critical approach to media studies and engages students with a full-color layout, provocative feature boxes, and the inclusion of Flipgrid video technology.

Very well-written, easy-to-understand textbook on media literacy. It includes the important historical context that connects media literacy to linguistics.
