Was perusing the Guardian this morning, getting my daily dose of leftist sentiment, and saw a rather interesting article about how primary schools need to be teaching pupils to become more ‘media savvy’. I’m not even sure what that really means, because I’m pretty sure it’s a phrase the media themselves made up. But actually the concept behind it….not too insane for once.

A professor at Warwick University says that children should be learning media language and literacy, along with maths and English, to ensure they’re not too susceptible to advertising campaigns. Sounds good, infact, sounds like something we could all do with a refresher course on. Sign me up.
