Abstract

Earlier this year the UK government Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport published an ‘Online Media Literacy Strategy,’ as promised in the online harms white paper. In this blog, LSE’s Professor Sonia Livingstone explains here why the strategy represents a missed opportunity to move beyond a preoccupation with online safety to truly develop the public’s media literacy. In a recent talk to mark UNESCO’s Global Media and Information Literacy Week, Prof Livingstone set out how media literacy must serve citizens as well as consumers.
