Gateway Media Literacy Partners

The Gateway Media Literacy Partners (GMLP) founded in 2004, is a volunteer based organization working to improve media literacy education in St. Louis. The GMLP currently has over two hundred members and has continued to grow. I'm proud to be a part of the GMLP and I'd like to invite locals to join!


The GMLP Mission
- Promote media literacy in the STL region
- Initiate a sustained education campaign that defines & clarifies the need for & value of media literacy
- Promote community partnerships & collaborations
- Provide support for media literacy projects
- Act as a conduit for national initiatives

The GMLP is a local group and with that comes local benefits. We can look at the issues that exist in our own neighborhoods. I really enjoy meeting professionals that work in different areas of the field. I WANT YOU to join me. I'm going to be organizing a subcommittee of the GMLP in an effort to organize students in the area. High school, undergraduate, graduate, if you wanna learn, let me know! As I'm reading this to myself, I realize I sound kinda cheesey. But this really is a great group of people, and I'm really glad I'm a part of it. It is nice to be a part of something where I feel like I can actually participate and make a difference. Alright, enough cheese!
