#NEWSLETTER In this week’s edition of the Media Education Lab newsletter: Teach About Copyright & Fair Use: The Lab has pulled together free resources for every step, from your first lesson to a school-wide policy, including a new fair use guidance document for student media makers. Plus: a New Yorker short on filmmaker Hugh Clegg’s online quest to find the anonymous TikTok user who turned his stolen video into a viral meme. Also in this issue: 🔹 Reflections on Discourse in the Digital Age: Renee Hobbs on sharing the virtual stage with applied linguists at a recent AAAL webinar, making the case for “messy engagement” over tidy, over-scaffolded classroom projects. 🔹 Practical Strategies for AI Literacy: Lab members Wesley Fryer, Scott Moss, and Catharine Reznicek join Vector Solutions to share practical strategies for building AI literacy on the foundations schools already teach. 🔹 Call for book chapters: Handbook on Truth in a Digital Age (Edward Elgar), edited by Renee Hobbs. Proposals due January 15, 2027. The Handbook shifts the field’s organising question from “How do we stop falsehood?” to “What are the conditions under which truth can be established, certified and reasonably trusted?” 🔹 Oct 26 | Media Literacy Week 2026: NAMLE’s “Walk the Line” session with Catherine Morris on active listening and reflective thinking. 🔹 Nov 4 | Media Literacy in a Time of War: Voices from Palestine: a free six-part webinar series opens with “A Survival Skill,” featuring Renee Hobbs, Bilal Younis, and Yonty Friesem. 🔹 Jobs & opportunities: faculty roles at Rutgers, Texas A&M International, UND and UNH, plus the John S. Knight Journalism Fellowship and MSF Without Borders Media Fellowship. 📌 Read the full edition: https://lnkd.in/dcjnz_Mf #MediaLiteracy #CopyrightAndFairUse #AILiteracy #MediaLiteracyWeek
