approaches to media literacy
Definition
- Media literacy is most commonly defined as the ability to access, analyze, evaluate, and produce communication in a variety of forms. In the United States, the concept of media literacy largely began with an emphasis on TV literacy; parents and educators were urged to protect children from misleading commercial messages and other harmful effects of television through discussion and analysis of what they saw on television.
