Interview with Alexander Fedorov, President of the Russian Association for
Film & Media Education
Today both his adherents and his critics refer to Alexander Fedorov as
the "main proponent of Russian media education." He is the
chief editor of the specialized journal Mediaobrazovanie(Media
Education), president of a professional association for media
educators, winner of many prizes, director of several research
projects, author of a dozen books and hundreds of articles on the
theory, history, and problems of film and media education in and
outside Russia, Pro-Rector of Taganrog State Pedagogical Institute.
The list is far from complete, but even this small part of it is
enough to make it evident that here is someone well informed about
what is currently going on in the world of media education. Our
editors, Natalia Kaloshina and Alison Preece, interested
in his perspective on this topic, asked Dr. Fedorov a few questions.
We hope that his answers will help our readers examine the processes
of modern media education and decide for themselves to what extent
matters of media literacy concern any one of us—for we
all, either teachers or students, live under a continuous shower of
media texts, widely ranging in their form and content.
