Introduction to Action for Media Education
Action for Media Education (AME) is a Seattle-based non-profit organization. We’ve been trailblazers in the development of media literacy programs since our incorporation in 1991. Our organization include teachers, health professionals, media professionals, professors, graduate students, and parents.
AME's mission is to move children and youth, as well as those adults who are concerned with their well being, from a position of passive media consumption to one of interacting with the media as active, critical, and creative consumers and producers. In order to accomplish this mission, AME promotes and supports media literacy education in homes and schools as well as in community groups serving youth.
Introduction to Northwest Center for Excellence in Media Literacy
The NW Center for Excellence in Media Literacy is based in the College of Education, University of Washington where since the early 1990s it has been developing curriculum materials, conducting research and providing training focused on the area of media literacy education.
The Center received its seed funding from the Washington State Department of Health and seeks to involve health care professionals, educators, and community representatives who share a commitment to working collaboratively with our nation’s young people and their parents on issues of health and media literacy education.
