Santa Monica College will be a host site for the interactive International Media Literacy Forum that will be broadcast live from five cities on two continents from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. Friday, Nov. 7. The free event will be held in Room 145 of the SMC Science Complex, 1900 Pico Blvd.
The forum will feature panel discussions on four topics: “New Media & Digital Culture,” “Testing the Limits of Democracy,” “Media Education Theory & Practice” and “Media Education Around the World.”
The panel discussions by media literacy experts will be broadcast live from New York, London, Seattle, Toronto and Madison, Wis. Interactive exchange will be set up between those five sites, while participants at SMC will have the opportunity for viewing and participating in a discussion facilitated by representatives of the Center for Media Literacy, based in Santa Monica.
