You can always access everything with just one click. We should consistently recollect that all that we do has an enduring outcome or is acceptable, mindful enough to deal with things with care.

Information literacy means that a person has the potential to organize, use, and share information constructively. It also encompasses an evaluative realization of information that will be used for a greater purpose. Understanding the relevance of it in the midst of the social era is an essential thing because every day different information is being presented to us.

“Media and Government: A Love-Hate Relationship”

The media and government play a vital role in civilization. Government associates on media to communicate with the people that have a thorough impact on public access in the means of communication for disseminating information. Although these two have their functions, there is something that connects them and that is the people. It is believed that the media is on the lookout for the transactions and actions of the government. From the existence of the media and government, there is what we called a love-hate relationship between them. Nowadays, there are lots of scenarios in which the love-hate relationship between the media and government has. Government officials or anyone who is involved in the world of politics used to love or hate media depending on the situation that they are into. An example of it is that they love to use media to gain more popularity especially if there is something that makes their names more known for something good that happened in society, and they hate media for exposing something bad about them such as their involvement in corruption and any other forms of unlawful actions.

Although at some point media was just used for personal purposes rather than for the benefit of the community. The use of media continues to rely on the government because there is also something that people can get out of it. There are lots of people who get easily believe in what they see or hear from the media, some exploitative individuals use this platform to gain money and for them, it does not matter if the information that they distribute to people is a fact or just fiction. These things resulted in so many disadvantages of the easy access and spread of information through the use of media platforms. Is there something that we could do to eradicate this love-hate relationship between media and government, and the exploitative actions from politicians and media users? Honestly, we are being desensitized with these things we already knew, but we tend to take action because, for us, media and government are inconsistent in their relationship with one another.

“The Value of Being a Media and Information Literate Individual”

Why is being a media and information-literate individual valuable? As technology transforms society, it generates so much impact on the lives of every individual. While there are lots of benefits that we could get as technology grows, distressing impacts arise. There are individuals who use media platforms to manipulate information, to provide false and biased data and details that could lead to confusion, wrong beliefs, and trouble. These impacts are very alarming since technology has become a vital part of society, and this is the reason why we should value being media and information-literate individuals. Media and Information Literacy enables every individual to think critically, creatively, and rationally in a continuously improving and rising wide range way of communication. Because of it, the exchange of information through the use of media platforms captures a wide influence on our community and society, which resulted in making Media and Information Literacy essential today.

Becoming media and information literate individuals makes us eliminate ignorance and stupidity in society especially in terms of believing and in considering information. As knowledgeable we are on the happenings and events in our surroundings, we tend to scrutinize and be able to think actively that made us capable enough to interpret and make the judgment in identifying appropriate information. If we are able to successfully filter information that is only accurate and if we put a value on media and information literacy, it could lead to lots of factors that could make our society better. The example of it is that we have control over ourselves, and we became respectful of the opinions of others, given that we should think first before we made certain actions and shares personal idea. Another thing is, even if we have freedom of speech we put limitations on the ideas that we wanted to express publicly because we need to examine the credibility of our thoughts. If we value being a Media and Information Literate individual the abuse and unjust use of technology in communication could not foster at all.
