In an age when calls for media and news literacy have gained traction in popular discourse, Critical Media Project offers a concrete avenue to foreground identity as a fundamental and crucial part of these efforts. CMP is a free media literacy web resource for educators and students designed to enhance young people’s critical thinking and empathy, and build on their capacities to understand and advocate for change around representations of gender, race and ethnicity, religion, age, sexuality, socio-economic class and disability.

Alison Trope is a Clinical Professor at USC Annenberg.
