Question.1160 - This portion of the midterm will consist of developing our critical media literacy and research skills. Media literacy is the ability to spot different types of media and to understand the messages they are communicating. It involves questioning what you’re watching, listening to or reading, so that you can make better judgments about the messages you’re being presented with. The media we consume can inform, educate, entertain or convince us. It influences the way we see and think about ourselves and the world around us.
