National Association For Media Literacy Education

Programs: The national association for media literacy education (namle) is a professional organization that serves to advance the field of media literacy education in partnership with leading researchers, educators, funders, and policymakers. General program services network members and provides access to critical resources to inform practice, including a comprehensive website, regular newsletters and announcements, and just-in-time responses to national issues. Namle also publishes the journal for media literacy education, a free peer-reviewed, scholarly journal with three issues per year. Membership to namle is free and open to all.

namle's special projects work involves short-term efforts to advance the field of media literacy education through targeted resource development and dissemination. All projects are managed in partnership with leading national organizations or funders and involve the creation of new products, re-purposing of existing materials, and outreach to the field. Namle's network of 4,000 members enables the organization to get resources in the hands of educators in a scalable and efficient fashion.

namle events are designed to convene stakeholders in the field of media literacy education to advance practice through the sharing of promising practices and the professional development of new members. Namle hosts annually a national media literacy week uniting the field through advocacy and collaboration at both the national and grassroots levels. Namle also convenes a biennial national conference of members from across the country for the presentation of compelling research and dialogue on critical issues for the field.
