The way we produce and consume media is different nowadays and continues to change. Here are some of the changes in media production and consumption that you can observe today: Here are some of the changes in media production and consumption that you can observe today: 1.

User-generated content becomes free advertising.  Media content consumption has also changed, as evident in the following; 1. Intraditional media, the audience consumes content and is unable to share feedback. Any form of response is directed to other people within the physical space where the media content is consumed, or the audience will have to go an extra mile to get their message across.  Media content consumption has also changed, as evident in the following; 2. Media companies can more easily track consumer behavior of their audience by looking at the number of views or page visits, as well as the number of social media posts about them. Media content consumption has also changed, as evident in the following; 3. Consumption can turn into collaboration. The big sources of media content can easily establish communication with consumers to determine what they want.

What used to be an individual viewing experience at home in front of the TV becomes a shared experience when people share thoughts on social media as they watch, comment on the post of others, and communicate simultaneusly during the broadcast.

For instance, a chapter written by Kesseler and Bergs in "New Media Language" (2003) focused on the effects of the new media on literacies, focusing on language use and communication skills.  Media Literacy An article of Moffat (n.d.) from the Young Leaders of the Americas Initiative defines media literacy as "the ability to identify types of media and the messages they are sending." According to Grace (2005), literacy has been traditionally associated with printed words but now extends to interpretation of various texts.  Media Literacy Livingstone (2004) defines media literacy as "the ability to access, analyze, evaluate, and create messages across a variety of contexts."  Media Literacy This definition also features four components of media literacy: 1.

The responsibility to create excellent content that reflects a deep understanding of media conventions  Media Literacy A wide-encompassing definition of media literacy is proposed by Ciurel (2016). According to him, media-literacy "focuses on educating different categories of public in both formal and informal settings to critically and consciously consume mediated messages."  Media Literacy Ciurel (2016) further proposes seven competencies of media literacy, which are the following: 1. Using media technologies toward effective access, storage, retrieval, and sharing of content to meet individual and community needs and interests  Media Literacy Ciurel (2016) further proposes seven competencies of media literacy, which are the following: 2.

Making effective use of media in exercising democratic rights and civic responsibilities Why is Media Literacy important?  Media Literacy Media is continuously changing, and, with it, how we use it should also change. We should continuously strive to make the media world a safe and empowering place to be in. After all, the new media world is constantly occupying our real world. We have to see this as something beneficial.  Generalization: List down 10 practices of a Media Literate individual.
