Abstract

The Center for International Media Assistance (CIMA) at the National Endowment for Democracy (NED) commissioned this study of media literacy programs for the general public as part of a three-part series looking at media literacy trends around the world. The purpose of this report is to examine efforts to promote public understanding of the role of media in a democracy, as well as give the public the skills they need to analyze and participate in the news process. The other reports in this series—Media Literacy: Citizen Journalists and Media Literacy: Empowering Youth Worldwide—are available for download at http://cima.ned.org/reports.
