INTRODUCTION

Since the mid-1990s, media literacy has been the focus of my research interest and teaching efforts. Over the years, I have published three books and 10 journal articles on media literacy education, and designed a number of curricula that have integrated media literacy education in schools and colleges. I also did numerous conference presentations and workshops on media literary education.

These activities have covered all the principles of media literacy including access, analysis, evaluation, and creation of information. Besides research publication and curriculum development, my efforts have involved collaborating with community members and media producers, mentoring new teachers and graduate students, and advocating media literacy locally, nationally, and internationally. My endeavors in promoting media literacy education in the United States and other countries have played important roles in integrating media literacy content in school curriculum through pre-service and in-service teacher training, and through raising awareness of media literacy among parents, children, and society.
