Media Literacy

Media literacy is crucial for students as it helps them understand that every media message is constructed by individuals for a specific purpose. Recognizing the motives behind these messages empowers students to become critical and active viewers. This guide explores various aspects of media literacy, including the impact of image manipulation, the influence of media formats, and the importance of questioning sources. Engaging with real-life examples, such as the Wisconsin teacher strike media coverage, students can learn to critically analyze different portrayals and perspectives across various platforms.
