GAPMIL

The Global Alliance for Partnerships on Media

and Information Literacy (GAPMIL) is a

groundbreaking effort to promote international

cooperation to ensure that all citizens have

access to media and information competencies.

GAPMIL seeks to globally reposition

MIL around the core objectives of:

• Articulating key strategic partnerships to drive MIL development globally and its application to eight key development areas:

– Governance, citizenship and freedom of expression;

– Access to information and knowledge for all citizens;

– Development of media, libraries, Internet and other information providers;

– Education, teaching, and learning - including professional development; Women, children and youth, disabled and other marginalized groups;

– Linguistic and cultural diversity as well as intercultural and interfaith dialogue;

– Women, children and youth, persons with disabilities and other marginalized social groups;

– Health and wellness;

– Business, industry, employment and sustainable economic development;

– Agriculture, farming, wildlife protection, forestry and natural resources conservation as well as other areas.

• Enabling the MIL community to speak and address, with a unified voice, certain critical matters, including the need for policies; and

• Further deepening the strategy for MIL to be treated as a composite concept by providing a common platform for MIL related networks and associations globally that will ensure convergence of regional and international initiative and amplification of global impact.

Ranganathan’s 5 Laws

• Books are for use

• Every reader his/her book

• Every book its reader

• Save the time of the reader

• Library is an evolving organism

Law One

Information, communication, libraries,

media, technology, the Internet as well as

other forms of information providers are

for use in critical civic engagement and

sustainable development. They are equal in

stature and none is more relevant than the

other or should be ever treated as such.

Law Two

Every citizen is a creator of

information/knowledge and has a message.

They must be empowered to access new

information/knowledge and to express

themselves. MIL is for all – women and men

equally - and a nexus of human rights.

Law Three

Information, knowledge, and messages are not

always value neutral, or always independent of

biases. Any conceptualization, use and

application of MIL should make this truth

transparent and understandable to all citizens.

Law Four

Every citizen wants to know and understand

new information, knowledge and messages

as well as to communicate, even if she/he is

not aware, admits or expresses that he/she

does. Her/his rights must however never be

compromised.

Law Five

Media and information literacy is not acquired

at once. It is a lived and dynamic experience

and process. It is complete when it includes

knowledge, skills and attitudes, when it covers

access, evaluation/assessment, use,

production and communication of

information, media and technology content.
