Media Literacy strategy

Ofcom (UK's communications watchdog) have published a mid-term evaluation of their Media Literacy strategy. 
"The evaluator commissioned by Ofcom [Bigger Picture Research] used evidence from a range of sources in this evaluation including 33 interviews with relevant stakeholders, and two surveys sent out to our Network of over 700 individuals or organisations." Sadly, libraries are only mentioned in one paragraph, and librarians not at all: though, to be fair, journalists aren't mentioned either.
