Principles for a New Media Literacy

This paper asks: In the emergent global conversation spawned by digital technologies that have produced a tsunami of information, what can we trust? How we live, work, and govern ourselves in a digital age depends in significant ways on the answers. To get this right, we'll have to re-think, or at least re-apply, some older cultural norms in distinctly modern ways. These norms are principles as much as practices, and they are now essential for media consumers and creators alike. They add up to a twenty-first-century notion of what we once called "media literacy," which has traditionally all but missed the emerging methods of participation that are becoming such a key element of digital media.
