Media & Body Image is a multimedia educational resource on media literacy and body image. It can help you improve your ability to access, analyze, evaluate, and produce media messages, and to become an active participant in our media culture.

Media & Body Image is not a movie on a disc. It’s an interactive DVD-ROM containing 38 different media examples and printable presentation guides and handouts.

While it can be used for individual study, Media & Body Image has been designed to be used in classrooms, community groups, and other group settings to:

• Teach media literacy concepts on the topic of body image to people of any age
• Learn how to “deconstruct” media messages
• Access ideas and resources for making your own media
• Discover ways to improve our body image and our media environment
  
  

This DVD-ROM contains 38 selected media examples -- video and audio clips and images– accessed through a menu system. The media examples include television commercials, magazine ads and excerpts from TV shows. Optional SDH subtitles can be played with all audio and video clips.

The disc also includes two printable presentations (basic and intermediate/advanced) you can use to lead a conversation about the media examples on the disc.  The presentation guides are available in Standard and Large Print versions.

This DVD-ROM can be used in any DVD player or in a DVD-ROM drive in a computer.
