Media Education

Vol 8 Nos 1 & 2 1994

Editor-In-Chief: Keyan G Tomaselli
Issue Editor: Jeanne Prinsloo


This volume reflects a growing recognition of the importance of MEDIA EDUCATION for a democratic citizenry both here and globally. We argue this at a point in South Africa's history which is fluid and flexible, but which is only a brief moment in time.

The class for closure will result in curricula decisions sooner rather than later. it is precisely for this reason that this issue of CRITICAL ARTS should focus on Media Education now. The intention of this volume is to provoke interest and debate in this crucial area for both education and democracy in South
Africa.
