Welcome to NML!

Project New Media Literacies (NML) is a research initiative funded in part by the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation and based within MIT's Comparative Media Studies program to explore how we might best equip young people with the social skills and cultural competencies required to become full participants in an emergent media landscape and raise the publics’ understanding about what it means to be literate in a globally interconnected, multicultural world.
