Vol. 1 No. 1 (2023): Philippine Journal of Media and Information Literacy

This landmark issue of Philippine Journal of Media and Information Literacy embarks on a crucial journey towards understanding and empowering Filipinos in the dynamic media and information landscape. With the ever-growing influence of media and the proliferation of false news, navigating the digital world necessitates critical thinking, discernment, and effective communication skills – hallmarks of media and information literacy (MIL).

This first issue sets the stage with a thematic focus on MIL education, teacher competencies, and teaching and learning practices. We delve into the current state of MIL education in the Philippines, examining its integration into various educational levels and its alignment with national and international frameworks. Recognizing the pivotal role of educators, we spotlight the competencies required for effective MIL instruction, exploring pedagogical approaches and best practices. Through research articles, academic essays and practitioner reflections, we illuminate the diverse learning environments where MIL knowledge and skills are cultivated.
