Abstract

In this article, we make the case for media literacy as an essential element in the health of the communication ecosystem by mapping the field to a theory of change. This article shares an element of the broader project, whereby the theory of change was used to evaluate the last decade of media literacy interventions for the UK Government, and in collaboration with the UK regulator Ofcom.We argue that people using their media literacy for positive consequencescanimprove ecosystem health, but through this research, we see the need for the field of media literacy toclaim less to change more
