The National Association for Media Literacy Education (NAMLE) unites a community of educators who provide resources to help people of all ages develop the vital skills of media literacy.

Our goal is to make media literacy education a national priority. We aim to get that message out to as many people as possible.

Being a critical thinker and active participant in today’s world requires media literacy skills — being able to access, analyze, evaluate, create and act using all forms of media.

NAMLE has 8,000+ total members and 80+ organizational partners and has reached over 300,000 educators.

Educators today face the challenge of helping students navigate the most complex media ecosystem that has ever existed, where the line between fact and fiction is blurred across all media types. Our community and their collective resources provide tools to help expand media literacy in both formal and informal learning environments.

False and misleading information has real-life consequences. Now, more than ever, media literacy is essential to the survival of our democracy. It is the frontline in our defense against misinformation, false news, and anti-democratic forces. Harmful, and even potentially dangerous, information is magnified and exacerbated by a media landscape that feeds off of sensationalism and profits from our views and clicks. 

It isn’t enough to distinguish between fact and fiction — we must strive to understand information, its intention, influence and impact. Everyone must develop the tools and processes necessary to understand and respond to all information across the media landscape.

It is no longer enough to be able to read and write in print. We need to be able to author and consume across all media. Join NAMLE and engage with a community committed to media literacy education.
