FCC Extends Comment Period for Media Literacy Efforts

Gateway Media Literacy Partners, Inc., has notified its members and the greater bi-state region of  the Federal Communications Commission’s (FCC’s)  Notice of Inquiry (NOI) regarding MB Docket NO. 09-194 on ‘In the Matter of Empowering Parents and Protecting Children in an Evolving Media Landscape’, whose comment period is now extended to May 1.

GMLP, a member of the National Associaton for Media Literacy Education,(NAMLE) will be following NAMLE’s lead on this effort.  In addition to comments specifically related to GMLP’s bi-state region, a separate response to the FCC will be posted by March 26.

We are urging all members of the community who care about  sustaining media literacy in our communities, to visit the FCC web site, read and comment on the comments already submitted, and possibly file separate comments.  Every comment counts!
