Definition of media literacy

Media literacy is the ability to think critically, effectively and responsibly approach the media.


Media is a powerful tool in the life of young people. Music, television, video games, social networking, online videos, and other media have a powerful influence on how we view the world and what choices we make among choices. If you want to be a critical media consumer, you need to be technologically savvy and media literate. Skills begin with accessing media, then analyzing how it works, thinking about how it works, using technology for school, work, and personal interests, and as a result, you gain some experience working online or offline. The Media Literacy Model consists of three parts: Core Concepts, Core Competencies, and Working Topics. Which includes being able to do and know what we want to know.


The acquisition of digital technology skills is also considered in media literacy. Every age and class comes with its own knowledge and experience. But defining exactly what media literacy is and how to improve it is not always easy.


And what does it mean to be "media literate" anyway, maybe that you never try to beetroot to look better, or that you never believe that aliens have visited the earth, maybe that the EU wants to screw us over. There are many examples of how media literacy skills can benefit you.


Finally, it is integral to our lives to interact with technologists without risk, which is why it is so necessary to study it to distinguish right from wrong, there is growing evidence that issues such as verifying and sharing false information depend on digital literacy as well as traditional media literacy. on related skills.
