Rob Williams: Our 21st Century Hyper-Media Culture

Dr. Rob Williams has said that ours is ?the most mediated society in world history, with Americans spending 10-12 hours a day consuming media.? Mr. Williams has taught and written about media literacy education for many years. He currently serves as a Vermont-based media literacy consultant, runs a two-person ML/video production company called MEME films, teaches history and media studies at Champlain College and Sacred Heart University and is board president of the Action Coalition for Media Education (ACME at www.acmecoalition.org). His concern is that ?clearly, we live in a media culture that serves the interest of a few at the expense of the many.?
