Description
Developing media literacy is the primary objective of this course. Media literacy promotes an informed understanding of the popular culture so that we may become more “engaged citizens and discerning consumers” . I require you to create a presentation.
Each chapter in the textbook provides examples about why examining the media critically is important for the individual as well as democracy. Issues such as media ownership, the impact of social media, the crisis in journalism, media violence, privacy, and stereotypes are but a few examples to consider. The textbook examines many other relevant issues. (My topic is about Fake news)". And It should address the following questions:● What is media literacy?
● Why is it important?
● What issue should the media give more attention to, or, how have the media misrepresented or underrepresented a specific issue or event?
● What evidence supports your claims?
● How can we encourage the development of media literacy?
