While media literacy and critical media literacy are ideas with long histories in formal education, including K-12 students and higher education, the need for increased attention to these issues has never reached a flash point like the present. The essays collected here are confrontations of post-truth, fake news, mainstream media, and traditional approaches to formal schooling. But there are no simple answers or quick fixes. Critical media literacy, we argue here, may well be the only thing between a free people and their freedom.Critical Media Literacies Series2.Media literacyUnited StatesFake newsUnited StatesFake newsfastMedia literacyfastUnited StatesfastElectronic books.Media literacyFake newsFake news.Media literacy.070.43Goering Christian Z1067207Thomas P.
