Human Communication Panelist Spotlight

Martinez also gave her opinion on Digital Media Literacy.

"Digital Media Literacy is an emerging concept that will only become more vital as we move into the near future. It has very serious socio-political implications that we have only recently started to see playing out in worldwide politics.

I think that in the U.S., digital media literacy will become an issue that we will recognize as a social force that can bring about greater social equality and political engagement.

At this point I feel that its power domestically has been overshadowed by the dramatic things happening overseas, but that from the simplest edge it can give in education to the giant leaps it can lead to in public engagement, we will be hearing much more."
