Media Literacy Skills (EDM1351)

Media Literacy Skills

EDM number 1351 in 2005-06, proposed by Danny Alexander on 11/01/2006.

That this House welcomes the work of the Media Literacy Task Force and the launch of the Charter for Media Literacy; commends Ofcom for its work towards its statutory duty to promote media literacy; highlights the cultural and economic benefits of improving media literacy as people adapt to new media technologies that present particular challenges to effective regulation; believes that media literacy skills benefit both children and adult learners by supporting a competitive knowledge economy with genuine choice, enabling democratic participation and active citizenship, and providing greater opportunities for lifelong learning, cultural expression and personal fulfilment; further believes that all school children should have opportunities to develop media literacy skills across the curriculum; and calls on the Government to endorse the Charter for Media Literacy and develop policies in support of the Charter's aims.

This motion has been signed by a total of 65 MPs.
