This is a comprehensive work that explores the relationship between the production of information and its consumption at a defining moment for journalism. Drawing on the Nordic tradition, it offers valuable insights into audience empowerment and invites readers to consider the significance of journalism as a vital form of learning.

In this book, Maarit Jaakkola explores the role of professional journalists in journalism literacy education. The author proposes a framework for specific journalism literacy education, distinguishing it from general media literacy. This framework aims to enhance understanding of journalism's role in society and promote informed news consumption. In a balanced style, Jaakkola presents journalism literacy education as a critical endeavour to combat misinformation, to enhance trust, and to improve the prospects of journalism in the evolving complex media landscape. With its comprehensive overview of theories and best practices of journalism literacy, using over six hundred references, Journalists as Media Educators is a must-read for every scholar and practitioner in the field.
