This award, in its third edition,  recognizes those who excel at the task of making sure the young learn Media Literacy Lesson #1:  how and why journalism is a good thing to have around and that some people face vicious harassment, prison or death just to do that job.

 

These educators help create a generation with a reduced tendency to suffer from civic cynicism and a greater chance to pay attention to good journalism and to what's happening around them.
 

Now, we want to do the award with as many partners as possible around the world who can use and disseminate what is learned from those who stand out in this kind of crucial teaching that is largely lacking as a core standard for media literacy teaching (more on that here).

​

Partners will help get  word out about the award and eventual laureates, provide a jury member and will use the results to strengthen their own programs to help make sure young citizens everywhere learn those crucial lessons.

​

The will also join in our quest to make these crucial lessons a regular, basic part of media literacy instruction.
