There were two media literacy bills on the governor's desk in California awaiting signature this week.
SB830 for media literacy tools and resources for educators was signed on Sept. 17th. Good news! Read the bill.
SB947 calling for an advisory committee to determine Best Practices for Media Literacy was vetoed on Sept. 18th. We are hopeful Senator Jackson will re-introduce the bill next session as we strongly support the need for Best Practices. Please voice your support for media literacy education! Read the proposed bill. Read the Veto explanation.
Senator Dodd's legislation calling for media literacy tools and educator resources was just signed by California Governor Jerry Brown. Senator Dodd is hosting a public forum at UC Davis on September 24 at 6pm to address challenges and opportunities in media literacy education. He and a panel of academics, journalists and scholars will take on topics such as the proliferation of political propaganda on social media, the importance of a free press and charges of “fake news” leveled at mainstream media outlets. CML's Tessa Jolls will participate on the panel. The event will also be livestreamed: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=81Bki0-nEmE
