New Report Shows Educators’ Hands are Tied by Confusion about Copyright

Media literacy educators rely on the ability to use copyrighted materials in their teaching. But ignorance about copyright — and particularly a lack of awareness of the fair use provision - is interfering with teachers’ ability to teach important critical thinking and communication skills that enable them to promote digital learning.

Please join Professors Renee Hobbs of Temple University, Peter Jaszi of the Program on Information Justice and Intellectual Property at American University’s Washington College of Law and Pat Aufderheide of the Center for Social Media in the School of Communication at American University on Tuesday, September 25, for the release of their report, The Cost of Copyright Confusion for Media Literacy. The event starts at 2pm, followed by a reception.
