Education
The Salzburg Academy on Media and Global Change
The Salzburg Academy on Media and Global Change is a multi-dimensional initiative that provides curricular materials, training and support for journalism schools, programs and classrooms across the world. It is organized through a network of participating universities in China, East Africa, the Middle East, Eastern Europe, the UK, Latin and North America and brings together expert faculty and around 70 students, from undergraduate to PhD level.
The Academy's objective is to lead the creation of global media literacy curricula, multimedia stories, and comparative research, and to become a leading hub for global media education in the 21st century. The curriculum developed over the past six years has led to the publication of 'News Literacy: Global Perspectives for the Newsroom and the Classroom' by Academy Director, Paul Mihailidis.
Students work in international teams and across disciplines.
Key questions to be addressed by students include:
- How do news media affect our understanding of ourselves, our cultures, our politics?
- How can we use media to better cover global problems and better report on possible solutions?
- How can media literacy make students more engaged citizens?
Each year, participants build web-based and downloadable lesson modules on how global media cover issues of critical importance. Past topics have included Terrorism, Climate Change, Religion and Civic Voice and Protest.
