Code of Best Practices
Educators need to make better use of their fair use rights under copyright law.

**What is the Code of Best Practices in Fair Use for Media Literacy Education?** The Code of Best Practices in Fair Use for Media Literacy Education is a document that clarifies how fair use applies to the most common situations where media literacy educators make use of copyrighted materials in their work.
