- Broadens the scope of media literacy understanding and practice by expanding current diverse media literacy approaches and placing them in a broader media ecological framework.

- Addresses current social issues and challenges such as populism and emerging right-wing nationalist movements in the U.S., UK., Europe, Turkey, Brazil, and elsewhere, as well as discourses and actions around the COVID-19 pandemic, Black Lives Matter movement, and climate change locally and worldwide.

- Presents the Dynamic Media Environment Model, an accessible framework for understanding a variety of media environments, and includes media literacy examples, global case studies, and exercises throughout to aid student comprehension and also highlight how media environments can be used as a means to enact social change.

Reviews for Dynamic Media Environments: Expanding the Scope of Media Literacy

In Dynamic Media Environments, Katherine G. Fry makes a compelling case for media literacy pedagogies and practices that embrace mediated environments and media ecologies. This text breaks important ground in evoking power, place and paradigms to bring critical media literacy practices into focus in formal and informal learning spaces. Fry's model reflects the media realities that guide daily life in local and global contexts and offers a series of media environment approaches to media education practice. This text is foundational for media studies, communication and media literacy educators around the world. - Paul Mihailidis, Professor, Civic Media & Journalism, Emerson College, Boston, USA In Dynamic Media Environments, Katherine G. Fry, one of our leading media literacy scholars and practitioners, provides an important new approach to media education. By contextualizing media literacy through a synthesis with media ecology, the study of media as environments, she delivers a much-needed and long-awaited breakthrough, one that is nothing short of revolutionary. This book is essential reading for anyone concerned with understanding media, and especially anyone concerned with teaching about media in the 21st century. - Lance Strate, Professor of Communication and Media Studies, Fordham University, USA
