Media literacy is the ability to access, analyze, evaluate, and create media in various forms. It involves understanding how media messages are constructed, recognizing bias or misinformation, and critically evaluating the intent behind the information being presented.
Media literacy empowers individuals to navigate the media landscape effectively, distinguishing between fact and opinion, identifying trustworthy sources, and understanding the impact of media on society, culture, and personal beliefs.
It includes not only traditional media like television, newspapers, and radio, but also digital platforms such as social media, websites, and apps.
Being media literate enables people to engage more responsibly with media content and communicate more effectively in a media-saturated world.
