Half the Population, a Fifth of the News By Sanjay Suri Inter Press Service • Wednesday 15 February 2006 • London - More and more women are now reporting the news, but still only about a fifth of the subjects are women, a new survey shows. • "What we see in news subjects is that whilst women make up 52 percent of the world's population, they make up only 21 percent of news subjects," Anna Turley from the World Association for Christian Communication (WACC) told IPS. WACC is a non-governmental organisation that promotes communication for social change. • http://www.truthout.org/issues_06/021506WA.shtml
As we enter the twenty first century, it is essential that the schools be places that help students better understand the complex, symbol-rich culture in which they live in. A new vision of literacy is essential if educators are serious about the broad goals of education: preparing students to function as informed and effective citizens in a democratic society; preparing students to realize personal fulfillment; and preparing students to function effectively in a rapidly changing world that demands new, multiple literacies. Renee Hobbs, 1997
It is no longer enough to simply read and write. Students must also become literate in the understanding of visual images. Our children must learn how to spot a stereotype, isolate a social cliché and distinguish facts from propaganda, analysis from banter, important news from coverage. Ernest Boyer
Media Education is both essential to the exercising of our democratic rights and a necessary safeguard against the worst excesses of media manipulation for political purposes. Len Masterman
The aim is to develop an awareness about print and the newer technologies of communications so that we can orchestrate them, …. And get the best out of each in the educational process. Without understanding of media languages and grammars, we cannot hope to achieve a contemporary awareness of the world in which we live. Marshall McLuhan
A democratic civilization will save itself only if it makes the language of the image into a stimulus for critical reflection, not an invitation to hypnosis. Umberto Eco (l979)
Teacher’s Role • Education must begin with the solution of the teacher-student contradiction, by reconciling the poles of the contradiction so that both are simultaneously teachers and students. Paulo Freire
Statistics • In political Washington, Statistics are weapons of war. That’s why they get manipulated, massaged, and twisted until any connection to reality is strictly coincidental. Peter Carlson
