Media Literacy Taskforce Steering Board
A steering board has been established to govern and oversee the work of the Media Literacy Taskforce, which will take a coordinated approach to tackling challenges in the media literacy sector, extending the reach of media literacy education to citizens who are currently disengaged or do not have access to support.
Membership
Following an open recruitment exercise, the government has appointed expertise from across the sector, including representatives from academia, civil society, tech companies, regulators and media organisations. Moving forward, the government may look to make new appointments to the board if there is need for a specific skill-set.
