just testing to see what happens if I write a summary for this item.
\nSusan Moeller, director of the International Center for Media and the Public Agenda (ICMPA) and a professor in the schools of journalism and public policy at the University of Maryland, College Park, and Megan E. Fromm, the publications director and student newspaper adviser at Charles E. Smith Jewish Day School in Maryland, argue that the solution is to support a 21st-century journalism curriculum that incorporates digital literacy in high schools. And yet journalism classes are some of the first ones on the chopping block as school districts look to cut costs:
\nIt seems frankly counter-intuitive that in the very midst of the international battle about the nature of cyber-information and the scope of the First Amendment, states and school districts are axing the classes that teach students to evaluate what they read and hear and see. Teaching all students to themselves speak out—to the media, through the media, and by creating their own media—is essential to moving them beyond passive media consumption to active civic engagement. Teaching students about their responsibilities and their rights as citizens is crucial to their eventual exercise of those as adults.
\n“When the kids learn to publish on the Internet… we give them a loaded gun,” Jan Ewell, a former veteran high school journalism teacher in California, said about today’s Internet-dominated media culture. “Journalism is the gun-safety training.”
