One of our key objectives is to promote public awareness of the need for media literacy and the importance of helping young people to develop critical thinking skills in order to use the media wisely.
Using the media themselves is one of the most effective ways to deliver this message. Thanks to our sponsors, MNet is doing just that. So whether you’re watching television or cruising the Internet, chances are you’ll come across a Media Awareness Network public service announcement (PSA). But while you’re here, why not enjoy a preview.
Take A Minute – our first 30-second PSA designed to encourage parents to become involved in their children’s Internet activities.
Learning the Rules of the Road – a 30-second PSA produced by Canada’s cable companies promoting the need to help young people become safe, wise and responsible Internet users.
Point them in the right direction – a 30-second PSA on Internet literacy produced by Canada’s cable companies encouraging parents to provide young people with guidance on surfing the Internet.
