Media literacy educators rely on the ability to make use of copyrighted
materials from mass media, digital media and popular culture for both
analysis and production activities. Whether they work in higher
education, elementary and secondary schools, or in informal learning
settings in libraries, community and non-profit organizations, educators
know that the practice of media literacy depends on a robust
interpretation of copyright and fair use. With chapters written by
leading scholars and practitioners from the fields of media studies,
education, writing and rhetoric, law and society, library and
information studies, and the digital humanities, this companion provides
a scholarly and professional context for understanding the ways in which
new conceptualizations of copyright and fair use are shaping the
pedagogical practices of media literacy.
