ACME Action Coalition for Media Education

Free of any funding from Big Media, ACME is an emerging global coalition run by and for media educators, a network that champions a three-part mission:

1. Teaching media education knowledge and skills - through keynotes, workshops, trainings, and institutes - to children and adults so that they can become more critical media consumers and more active participants in our democracy;

2. Supporting media reform - No matter what one's cause, media reform is crucial for the success of that cause, and since only those who are media-educated support media reform, media education must be a top priority for all citizens and activists;
