Media Think and You

Our mission at Media Think is to strengthen critical thinking skills for understanding the media and its ability to sell, persuade and influence attitudes and behavior. We are fulfilling this mission through education, advocacy and research. We are also an organization for learning and reform. As such, it is important that we provide services relevant to the needs of our community. To do this we need your help. Let us know about you, your community and your needs for advancing media literacy by emailing info@mediathink.org or calling 503-452-7333.
