National Leadership Conference on Media Literacy,

The National Leadership Conference on Media Literacy was a group of 25 representative leaders in the Media Literacy movement. This conference took place in December 1992 at Aspen's Institute Wye Woods campus. This conference was made to help create a definition of media literacy with prominent figures within the media literacy movement. The 25 representative leaders also discussed their vision and their ideas for the media literacy movement. After two days after discussing the leaders agreed on a definition and ideas of where to go with media literacy. They would develop three task forces, the first dealing with building a curriculum and training teachers on how to properly teach media literacy. The second task force, was to establish communications and create reliable databases with correct information on the subject. The third task force, was to promote the reasons behind teaching and learning media literacy while understanding that it should be taken as a serious subject in classrooms and in ever day life.

Topic: Media Literacy, I am going to add more to the history section of the media literacy wiki page. I will also add to the Leadership Conference on Media Literacy. I will also add to the understanding of the education of media literacy and the explain what it is.
