Media Literacy Resources

There are so many sources of resources for media-literacy education. Frank Baker's Media Literacy Clearinghouse is great. But they are scattered and uncoordinated. Is there a need for any kind of formalized national clearing house? Government or NGA funded?

What about a weekly five-minute update that keys off the news and includes perhaps a three-minute summary of a major national issue in the news followed by two minutes of directed activities for the viewing students? Is this something Newsy could help with?
