This symposium is part of the wider Manifesto for Media Education project
which is an attempt to develop a shared understanding, some shared reasons,
for media education. See http://www.manifestoformediaeducation.co.uk/
Are we seeking to develop the media producers of tomorrow, or to nurture
individuals capable of holding power to account? Are we seeking to hold a
looking glass up to society in order for society itself to better understand
itself, or perhaps we are hoping to develop a more media literate society
capable of protecting itself from media conglomerates? This symposium will
explore these issues and will seek to identify future directions for media
education practice and research.

Professor Natalie Fenton, Department of Media and Communications,
Goldsmiths, University of London
