  Media Education in Canada | Introduction
Our objective was to identify which subject areas contained media education outcomes in the new curricula and to determine what support was available to help teachers integrate media-related components into their lessons.
Media Literacy in Canada provides a "snapshot" of our findings and a province-by-province analysis of where media education is at, what provincial and national organizations are making it happen, and how teachers can find resources that satisfy curricular media education outcomes.
Includes curriculum reform in Canada, the present status of media education and the continuing challenges that must be addressed before media education can be effectively integrated into the majority of Canadian classrooms.

 Tella: # 178, media education
Media education was regarded as a normative domain of knowledge, whose task was to give guidelines and instructions of how to deal with the information the mass media provided to the general public.
Media literacy is generally defined as the ability to read, analyse, assess and produce communication in a variety of media forms (television, print, radio, computers, etc.) Mass communication research was, on the other hand, one of the key terms used when research issues were being talked about.
Another fundamental distinction between traditional media education and the modern one is that the former leant heavily on trying to understand the messages of mass media, some of which had to be seen through various "gatekeepers", i.e., those in control of the flow of free information.
