PEACE TALKS RADIO host Paul Ingles postulates that advertising of all
kinds crowds our brains with messages that may not help us to inner peace
or peace among us. Many of us just let TV, radio and online ads wash over
us in our homes, cars and through our devices. We talk with three media
educators who think teaching young people and adults to critically analyze
ad messages may help us build some immunity to the persuasive power the
ads ply to our minds, and to our attitudes about ourselves or each other.
We'll ask our guests, media literacy advocates and teachers, about it. And
while the idea of teaching media literacy in schools has been kicked
around for about 25 years, to promote critical analysis by students of
advertising and other mediated messages, the movement hasn't really taken
off.
