This book outlines how the author believes that media educators should respond to contemporary social political and technological developments, and to the changing role and function of education itself.

The kinds of questions that are answered in the book include: "How should education respond to the challenges of an increasingly mediated world? How can it enable young people to become active, critical participants in the media culture that surrounds them? And how can it keep pace with the complex technological, cultural and economic changes that are currently reshaping the contemporary media environment?" According to the author, these are some of the questions that arise in the area of media education.
