DW Akademie: New publication – “Media and Information Literacy”

Media and Information Literacy (MIL), defined as the ability to access, 
analyze, and create media, is a prerequisite for citizens to realize their 
rights to freedom of information and expression. A rights-based approach 
is pursued to define MIL in general, and Digital Media and Information 
Literacy (DMIL) in particular. 

The discussion paper “Media and Information Literacy: A human rights-based 
approach in developing countries” draws on different projects initiated by 
DW Akademie to illustrate the importance of aspects such as creation or 
engagement. The paper emphasizes that various stakeholders need to be 
involved so that citizens can critically access, use, and participate in 
the flow of information on a broad scale.

Outline
1.      Introduction
2.      Why is Media and Information Literacy (MIL) relevant?
3.      Aspects of MIL
4.      Digital Media and Information Literacy (DMIL): Towards a new

6.      Seven dimensions of MIL
7.      Supporting development beneficiaries: Media creation and 
engagement with the media
8.      Broadening the approach: the importance of partners and research
