Action Coalition for Media Education (ACME)
ACME’s unique approach to media education involves teaching citizens how to more effectively access, analyze, evaluate and produce media. ACME’s success stems from a “hands on” approach to teaching media skills, knowledge, and activism in an engaging way. Their coalition is led by veteran teachers with years of classroom experience working with students of all ages. Browse their web site to get a small taste of the ACME network’s ongoing projects: resources, tool kits, handouts, study guides, videos, and more.
We live in the most heavily mediated society in world history. Powerful media tools—print, radio, television, the Internet—can bring a rich diversity of information into every home and school. Yet just a few multinational corporations (Big Media) own much of the media that shape our 21st century culture. Independently-funded media literacy education plays a crucial role in challenging Big Media’s monopoly over our culture, helping to move the world to a more just, democratic and sustainable future.
