Code of Best Practices in Fair Use for Media Literacy Education

After two years of work, the Code of Best Practices in Fair Use for Media Literacy Education has been released. This work clarifies how copyright and fair use apply to the work of media literacy educators at all levels: graduate programs at universities, teacher education programs, undergraduate colleges and community colleges, K-12 schools, and non-school settings such as youth development and community-based programs.

The Code may be downloaded here:

The Media Education Lab at Temple University has also
created some innovative curriculum materials—including “Schoolhouse Rock” style songs, case study videos and lesson plans. These items are available here:
