M E D I A L I T E R A C Y: B A S I C C O N C E P T S Our society and culture – even our perception of reality – is shaped by the information and images we receive via the mostly used media at a certain point in time. A few centuries ago, our culture’s storytellers were people – family, friends, and neighbors in the community. For many people today, the most powerful storytellers are television, movies, music, video games, and the Internet. Media messages affect our thoughts, attitudes, and actions. As much as we do not want to admit it, we are affected by the power of news, movies, music, and other forms of media. Media is one powerful cultural force which is why it is such a big business.  Media use the language of persuasion. M E D I A L I T E R A C Y: B A S I C C O N C E P T S All media messages try to persuade us to believe or do something. To do this, they use the language of persuasion through flattery, repetition, fear, and humor. In news and documentary films, all claim to be telling the truth. In novels and TV series, they go to great lengths to appear realistic. Advertisements catch our attentions to buy their products. Media construct fantasy worlds. Movies, TV shows, and music videos sometimes inspire people to do things that may be unwise, anti-social, or even dangerous. Advertisements construct a fantasy world where all problems can be solved with a purchase. While these fantasies created in media can be pleasurable and entertaining, it can also be harmful. Media literacy helps people to recognize fantasy and constructively integrate it with reality.  No one tells the whole story. M E D I A L I T E R A C Y: B A S I C C O N C E P T S Every media maker has a point of view. Every good story highlights some information and leaves out the rest. Oftentimes, the effect of a media message comes not only from what is said, but from what part of the story is untold. Media messages contain texts and subtexts. Media makers feature words, pictures, and/or sounds in a media message called text. The hidden and underlying message that is subtly included is called subtext.  Media messages reflect the values and viewpoints of M E D I A L I T E R A C Y: B A S I C C O N C E P T S media makers. Everyone has their own point of view. The values and viewpoints we hold influence our choice of words, sounds, and images we use to communicate through media. This can be observed in everybody – from as young as a preschooler with their crayon drawing to a media conglomerate’s TV news broadcast. Individuals construct their own meanings from media. Although media makers attempt to convey specific messages, people receive and interpret them differently based on their prior knowledge, experiences, values, and beliefs. This means that people can create different subtexts from the same piece of media.  Media messages can be decoded. M E D I A L I T E R A C Y: B A S I C C O N C E P T S By deconstructing media, we can figure out who created the message and why. We can identify the techniques being used like present language of persuasion, the untold story, texts and subtexts, etc. Media literate youth and adults are active consumers of media. Media literacy helps people consume media with a critical eye, evaluating sources, intended purposes, persuasion techniques, and deeper meanings. INFORMATION LITERACY  it is a transformational process in which the learner needs to find, understand, evaluate, and use information in various forms for personal, social, or global purposes. it is a set of skills needed to find, retrieve, analyze, and use I N F O R M AT I O N L I T E R AC Y information. the beginning of the 21st century has been called the Information Age due to the explosion of information output and information sources.  When a person is information literate, they: ✓ recognize problems, ✓ formulate hypotheses, I N F O R M AT I O N L I T E R AC Y ✓ make good predictions, ✓ ask the important questions, ✓ locate, analyze, interpret, evaluate, and record information and ideas, ✓ assume multiple stances, ✓ apply heuristic strategies, ✓ develop complex understanding, ✓ extend understanding through creative models, and ✓ apply understanding to new problems. TECHNOLOGY LITERACY T E C H N O LO G Y L I T E R AC Y it is the ability of an individual to responsibly, appropriately, and effectively use technology tools to access, manage, integrate, evaluate, create, and communicate information.  DESCRIBE WITH TECHNOLOGY is the ability to write narrative essays, collect and analyze data to think critically, and produce publications.
