Best Practices in Fair Use for Media Literacy Education

The Center for Social Media released a guide called "The Code of Best Practices in Fair Use for Media Literacy Education", which describes five principles that reflect consensus thinking of how fair use applies to K-12 education, higher education, and non-profit organizations that offer educational programs -- especially related to media literacy education (a very important topic!).  Each of these principles includes a description of an educational application, the principle of fair use that is being employed, and any limitations to the use of that fair use principle. Also, for some additional insight into this report, Henry Jenkins, director of the MIT Comparative Media Studies Program, wrote an excellent endorsement of this document.
