What is the goal of media education?
Communication over confrontation,
balance over bias, information over ignorance.

The kind of systemic change that media literacy offers a democratic society is something that calls for active participation from many stakeholders parents, teachers, companies and foundations, community and professional organizations and churches.
CML welcomes institutional and corporate giving, and has benefited from such giving in years past through donations that have helped make possible the "next steps" in providing sound media education.
