What is Media Literacy?
The ability to access, analyze, evaluate, create,and act using all forms of communication.
Media literacy is a learned skill set. It helps people navigate a world where messages come from everywhere, in every form, all at once.
Media systems aren't neutral. They reflect choices about whose voices matter, who profits, and what we're meant to think and feel. These questions help you see those choices clearly.
Why is Digital Media Literacy Important?
Young people spend more time with digital media than almost any other activity. What they see shapes what they believe, how they feel about themselves, and how they understand the world.
Media literacy is at the heart of the conversations organizations are already having about cyberbullying, social comparison, screen time, mental health, misinformation, online safety, privacy, and more.
Adults who work with youth need to understand that landscape too - not to police it, but to navigate it alongside them.
