Abstract
The encounter of people of different faiths is the hallmark of our times. It may be a dangerous encounter where difference is wielded as a weapon of conflict. It may be a passive and inattentive encounter where difference is glossed over or avoided. The first claims the use of media as a teaching tool incorporated within a particular teaching methodology and subject. The second that is more important yet less prevalent, is to ensure that media consumers are well informed about media ethics so that they can deconstruct media products and judge the value of the content with some objectivity.
