Len Masterman was one of the first persons to propose the serious study of mass media in schools. Through the use of key ideas and concepts that would provide a way of studying, he helped establish a rigorous and disciplined way to study media content. Len started his career as a teacher. He became an international sensation with the 1980 publication of his book, “Teaching about Television". His subsequent book, “Teaching the Media,” applies the systematic framework he developed to media as a whole. Masterman is now retired.
