Media and Information Literacy
Let’s start from the basics.
What is media? Media is the plural form of medium. It refers to the communication channels through which we disseminate news, music, movies, education, promotional messages and other data.
In the other hand, Information, is basically the act provided or learned about something or someone, giving us knowledge about a certain subject.
Literacy is the ability to read and understand.
When combined together, Media and Information Literacy is a platform where you can get information from different sources especially from the media that needs deep reading, understanding and learning.
Our brains depend on information to work optimally. The quality of information we engage with largely determines our perceptions, beliefs and attitudes. It could be information from other persons, the media, libraries, archives, museums, publishers, or other information providers including those on the Internet.
