Media Education Lab is a Chicago-based organization within the education administration field that concentrates on advancing media literacy education. The organization conducts research, supports leadership development, and engages in community service to strengthen media literacy practices, and it provides professional development programs and related research for K-12 and higher education audiences. The team operates as a small to mid-sized entity focused on practical impact in educational settings. Its primary customers are schools and higher education institutions seeking to integrate media literacy into curricula and policy. The lab collaborates on initiatives to counter misinformation, promote civic participation, and improve media literacy outcomes, including Courageous RI, a 2023 initiative. A recent development is a partnership with Pathwright in 2024 to offer an online asynchronous learning experience on topics at the cutting edge of media education.
