Supporting Quality Journalism Through Media and Information Literacy

MIL - Media and Information Literacy used to be seen as the responsibility of the educational sector mostly targeting younger people in full-time education. This responsibility has to be extended to all stakeholders who are in a position to reach citizens of all age groups where they currently are and create new dissemination networks for MIL knowledge and skills.

All relevant stakeholders, especially member states, need to recognise their own roles and responsibilities in relation to media literacy. They should be prepared to lead on, participate in, and fund MIL projects on a long-term basis.
