Cole, M. and Keyssar 1985

Cole, Michael, and Helen Keyssar. 1985. "The concept of literacy in print and film." In Olson, D., Torrance, and Hildyard 1985. Interest level: general.

Gives information on the possibility of using films in literacy programs. Argues for their impact in adding more meaning to an experience than is possible with the written word. Includes visual information missing in the written form.

Deals mainly with Western literacy and impact of film on that society. Might be interesting to those working with nonprint media in preliterate societies because it questions what messages are conveyed through films.
