Media Literacy on Wikipedia
If you Googled "Media Literacy" then you surely saw the wikipedia "Media Literacy" entry. I think this entry does a great job providing an overview of the evolution of this topic abroad and in the USA. Also, follow the links to the universities and colleges in the United States mentioned in the article. Viewing these resources will help you understand the similarities and difference between the BCCC Media Literacy initiative and other United States higher education institutions.

Have you Googled "Media Literacy?"
Try Googeling "media literacy" (the quotes run the search for the entire phrase). Try Googeling "media literacy" AND "higher education." What do you find?

History of Media Literacy
Media Literacy first appeared in the United States in the 1940s. Today, as exposure to images, video, sound bites, website information and advertising continually grows, media literacy has become more important than ever. One of the key players in advocating for a media literate society, Temple University founder of the Media Education Center and founding editor of the Journal of Media Literacy Education, Renee Hobbs, created an interactive time line tracking the growth of media literacy in the United States:

Reviewing the timeline will give a frame in which to gauge the importance of the BCCC Media Literacy institute and should spark conversation regarding future directions of Media Literacy development not only at Bucks, but also on a national scale.
