A Continent to be Known - A comparative perspective between two Civil Society Organizations dedicated to Media and Information Literacy (MIL) in Latin America

Abstract

This article compares two Latin American civil society organizations dedicated to media and information literacy (MIL): Movilizatorio in Colombia and A Mí No Me La Hacen in Peru. Both face challenges such as the digital divide and the lack of educational policies on media, but they have achieved significant progress in their respective contexts. Movilizatorio stands out for its regional presence and strategic partnerships, while A Mí No Me La Hacen offers an innovative perspective through its multidisciplinary approach. The article concludes with recommendations to strengthen MIL in Latin America, emphasizing the need for systematic research and regional collaborations.
