載着資訊的「媒體」（包括電視、報章、政府文件、課本、網絡等等）往往會因應其特質而提供他們詮釋的資訊，這個資訊再表述的過程涉及很多值得我們深思的問題。媒體素養（Media Literacy）泛指個人在各類通訊處境中取用資訊、理解信息及表達意念的能力。這門知識能為通識教育提供一些實用指引，涵蓋學生在處理各類當代議題時需要展示的能力。本網誌旨在匯聚這方面的資料，以供教育工作者參考。

Social Media Revolution

Computer-mediated Communication (CMC), actually, has already developed maturely. A large population of people are familiar with CMC. The phenomena of groupness, conformity and polarization are not infrequent in social media. In fact, the successful one has formed the sense of belonging to the virtual community, just like a community in the real society.

校園電視台的媒體素養訓練

不經不覺，佛教黃允畋中學校園電視台自2001年成立以來，已有近八年的光景。不少前台長、副台長、組長等都相繼畢業，並進入了各大學及大專院校，正在不斷努力地裝備好自己。

我不能說校園電視台的媒體素養訓練給了他們有多大的影響，但我相信他們都是主動學習的一羣；他們有的修讀有關媒體的課程，有的修讀自己有興趣的學科。看着他們的成長，並向自己的夢想進發，很是欣慰。希望我們的年青一代更具獨立思考和探究的能力。

Making claims for school media: a study of teachers’ beliefs about media in Hong Kong

Donna Chu
The Chinese University of Hong Kong, Shatin, N.T. Hong Kong

Introduction: the idea of school media
In the past decade, more and more schools in Hong Kong have set up their own school media (Chu, 2003). The notable increase in their numbers is closely related to advances in communication technologies. Desktop publishing improves editing work for school newspapers. Electronic media, which were once seen as expensive ventures, are becoming more affordable. Technologies have become more user-friendly, with easy-to-follow interfaces. Today, even primary school students are able to master the production of a video on their own (Gauntlett, 1996). School media, in print, electronic and digital forms, have now become commonplace in Hong Kong.

In this study, school media refers to schools’ attempts at modelling after mainstream media institutions by producing their own media works. The idea of school media has close associations with two other terms, namely “educational media” and “media education”. In the former case, schools have been looking for opportunities to make use of new media in education. In a review of the history on teaching with technology in American K-12 schools, for example, Cassidy (1998) found that generations of educators had been working to integrate new media into classrooms in the past century. On the other hand, the increasing prominence of media in the everyday lives of students has prompted calls to introduce media education into the formal curriculum, in the hope of equipping students with the skills and abilities to live in the media age.

What do school media, educational media and media education have in common? In all three instances, various “media” are brought into schools. As a result, educators are presented with the task of understanding and managing the media so that they can use it to achieve various objectives. The task often involves substantial planning and resources. In a discussion on student television in the United States, Silvia and Kaplan (1998) warned that students have to be prepared for budgetary, staffing as well as administrative problems, as any media organization would. Unlike small-scale and infrequent productions undertaken by individual teachers, school media requires school-wide planning and participation.
