Original essays are invited for a collection tentatively entitled "Media
Literacy, Media Democracy: The Audience in the Information Age." The
reader will be organized around several orienting questions: What is
media literacy? What does it mean to be media literate? Why is media
literacy important? What is the impact of the mass media? What are the
political potentials of new media?

Ideally this collection will be suitable for use at both undergraduate
and graduate levels in a number of disciplines, including media studies,
cultural studies, gender studies, etc.

Possible submissions may address the above questions, but may also
include such subjects as: analyses of media education projects and
models; media criticism; the role and responsibility of educators, the
media, parents, and the state; gender and media impact; youth and media
impact; and issues of "new" and "hyper-" media.

Any number of methodological approaches are appropriate and not limited
to: Sociology, Textual Analysis, Anthropology, Culture Studies,
Historical Analysis, Psychology, Folklore, etc.

Please submit 2-page proposals or completed manuscripts (MLA style,
15-25 pages in length) to:
