Ofcom (the UK's watchdog on communications and media literacy) has just published the final version of How to promote Media Literacy: Statement on recommendations for online platforms, broadcasters and services (there was a draft version for consultation and this is the amended version). They say that the recommendations are "are designed to achieve four broad aims" which are that:
- Services are designed to give people meaningful choice in how they engage with content (Recommendations 1 and 2).
- People are empowered to actively manage and control their own experience (Recommendations 3 to 6).
-
Services contribute to the broader media literacy landscape through partnerships and outreach to build trust (Recommendations 7 to 9).
- [online platforms etc. are] driving continuous improvement through ongoing evaluation of what works (Recommendation 10).
The recommendation document includes (for each recommendation) a summary of the responses to the original document and Ofcom's response to the responses, plus their final formulation.
