Media Mindfulness: A Proposal for Media Literacy Education in Faith Communities

Sister Rose Pacatte (Google) gave a definition of Media Mindfulness: the ability to access, analyze, evaluate and produce media in all its forms in faith communities.

Her proposal is for the faith community and religious education programs to provide a space to begin teaching media literacy.

Her example is the Pauline Center for Media Studies which from grants, has on-site media literacy workshops, monthly Movie-Bible nights, the National Film Retreat, as well as offering a Master Teacher Certificate Course. She has written a book (other books by Sister Rose - Amazon) for the Media Mindfulness course.

More information can be found on the Pauline Center for Media Studies Web site.
