INTRODUCTION Using the news in the K-12 classroom is an excellent way to engage young people. Reading, writing and creating projects related to the news is part of most state's teaching standards. Students should be exposed to news via print (newspapers and magazines), and non-print (radio, Television, the Internet.) Both mainstream and non-mainstream sources should be included. To incorporate media literacy into your existing teaching, I recommend you download the core concepts of media literacy and the critical thinking questions handouts as a way of getting started.

GREAT LIST OF SITES FOR ANALYZING BIAS IN MEDIA "Bias is manifest in texts when authors present particular values as if they were universal. For example, bias can be conveyed in the media through the selection of stories, sequence, and slant in newscasts; the placement or omission of stories in newspapers; who is interviewed and left out in radio or television talk shows and news programs; the advertisements on webpages, television, magazines, radio shows targeted at specific audiences; the lyrics of commercial jingles and popular music, and the images displayed with them in broadcast commercials and music videos; the goals, procedures, and the rules of video games."

A web site designed for K-12 educators who want to: -teach standards that include non-print media texts - learn more about media literacy - integrate it into classroom instruction -help students read the media -help students become more media aware

Nationally recognized media educator Frank Baker offers workshops (staff and student) to help districts and schools meet state standards which include media literacy.
