Abstract
-
This study looks at high school video production classes and how they help students build digital and media literacy.
It found that students are more likely to take part in civic activities (like being aware of society, news, and community issues) when they have a positive interest in news, current events, journalism, and reporting.
Also, media literacy skills and hands-on video making activities in class are linked to better civic engagement.
