This post summarizes a report (35 page PDF) from MediaSmarts with Digital Public Square on the foundation of a digital media strategy for Canada. It's based on foundational commitments that "emphasize the importance of digital media literacy for everyone, help build a case for a national strategy that facilitates empowerment, and emphasize a whole-of-society approach to digital media literacy." My own perspective is that this report addresses people almost exclusively as consumers of digital media who must be simultaneously empowered to access it and protected from its worst effects. It's not that this is bad, but that it is so incomplete.
