[Booklet] Phattime: Critical Media Literacy for Urban Students
by Rogers, Alvin, M.A., STATE UNIVERSITY OF NEW YORK EMPIRE STATE COLLEGE, 2011, 26 pages; 1500381

Abstract:

This reflective paper highlights my final work in creating "Phattime: Critical Media Literacy for Urban Students," an educational online program with an accompanying booklet. The booklet offers youth a way to think about corporate media and shows them how to reposition corporate media's images and propaganda using technology to provide access to community and critical points of view. It is extremely important that urban youth be armed with tools and information that will at least give them problem-solving capabilities to climb over barriers that might impact their career choices. All students, well off or low income, ought to have access to information, and skills to critique media images and messages. It is essential that they explore their own assumptions and feelings about a particular topic or situation.
