A panel of experts explored these issues:

*  What are the different needs of children, young people, educators and parents when it comes to media literacy education? How do their perspectives align with the motives of government policymakers and media industry leaders?

*  How is increasing pressure for integrating technology in education affecting demand for media literacy education? In what ways does access (or lack of access) to technology shape instructional practices?

*  How does media literacy education connect to the culture’s traditional goals of formal education, particularly literacy learning and social studies education? How do the aims of media literacy education intersect with college and university media programs training students for professional careers?

*         How do concerns about celebrity culture, materialism, violence, stereotyping and media addiction shape the practice of media literacy education? How is the concept of empowerment understood?

*  What is the role of youth media production in media literacy education in Asia? What special considerations are needed to implement youth media production programs in culturally appropriate ways?
