What is Core Principles of Media Literacy Education

Chapter 7
Handbook of Research on Cultivating Literacy in Diverse and Multilingual Classrooms
Principles that the National Association for Media Literacy (NAMLE) defined in the year of 2007 and that articulated common grounds for the development of media literacy education as a field of research. Most importantly, the Core Principles declare that the purpose of media literacy education is to teach media/digital literacy skills to learners of all ages and backgrounds, not only to younger learners in school. They further declare consensus over the idea that traditional literacy (e.g., ability to read and write) needs to be expanded to include all forms of media and that media audiences themselves need to become informed, critical participants of the online culture.

Abstract
This chapter employs the mediazation of politics, or the changes that the use of media for political purposes has brought about, to understand the intertwinement of the rules and regulations by which media products abide. Through examples of digital stories of undocumented youth in the U.S., posted on YouTube, the chapter demonstrates that digital stories not only provide a solid base for multimodal analysis, but they may also foster (digital) media literacy skills of English as foreign language learners in German high school. Yet, students need to understand how to read the multimodal language of new media correctly to truly participate in current political debates of the 21st century.
