Integrating Media and Information Literacy (MIL) in Media Organizations: Using UNESCO’s Multimedia Toolkit for Practical Implementation
Media organizations today play a central role in shaping informed, resilient, and empowered societies. To support this mission, the Asia-Pacific Broadcasting Union (ABU) invites its members to an exclusive webinar on Integrating Media and Information Literacy (MIL) using UNESCO’s Multimedia Toolkit—a practical resource designed to strengthen MIL strategies across newsrooms and content teams.
Join us for an in-depth session that explores how broadcasters and media professionals can adopt and implement MIL principles to enhance content quality, support ethical journalism, and foster audience trust. Participants will gain hands-on insights from the UNESCO Toolkit, including actionable steps, templates, and examples that can be applied directly within their organizations.
Special Guest Speakers: Adeline Hulin together with Catherine Mackie
