Yep, he’s got great stuff, and he also is really good about snagging subscription articles (e.g. MediaPost, AdAge, WSJ etc.) before it goes ‘behind the wall’ and posting them for edu-purposes) I figure ‘fair use’ applies here, as we need all the ammo we can get in our counter-marketing blitz to educate kids to use the filter btwn their ears, ya know? p.s. Audrey, I haven’t forgotten the interview, just been swamped. Tracee; will link back to yours on it as well…

Great link! Thank you. I will include that in our resources too!
It doesn’t take long when we use your points above to help our children become wise to what’s going on around them! The critical thinking opportunity is perfect!

Yep. Good…fyi, for media literacy stuff though, your readers would probably love the copious quantities broken down by category (e.g. body image, politics, news, etc.) at Frank Baker’s site: Media Literacy Clearinghouse. (It’s for K-12 educators but parents could have a field day…I use it often!)

I saw that when you posted the story on Facebook. Thank you BTW. Which is why I did more writing than copying and pasting.
