Our media-saturated society is a learning ground for youth and adults, and those who are more media literate will find media a useful tool and creative outlet. Alternative media enable and encourage empowerment, and learning outcomes may take place in either formal or informal educational settings. In addition to formal media education in K-12 schools and colleges, many community-based media outlets and U.S.-based nonprofit organizations such as Free Speech TV and Indymedia engage in outreach and teach approaches such as offering calendars of classes and providing accessible studio space to the public. How people participate in such learning experiences may depend upon their particular learning styles or preferences as well as their interests and the goals they wish to achieve.
