Media Literacy

For centuries, literacy has referred to the ability to read and write. Today, we get most of our information through an interwoven system of media technologies. Media Literacy Project’s approach to media literacy education comes from a media justice framework. Media Justice speaks to the need to go beyond creating greater access to the same old media structure. Media Justice takes into account history, culture, privilege, and power. We need new relationships with media and a new vision for its control, access, and structure. Media Justice understands that this will require new policies, new systems that treat our airways and our communities as more than markets.


Media literacy skills can help youth and adults by developing critical thinking skills, understand how media messages shapes our culture and society. in this kind of procedures we can probably interact to those situations we are facing.  Evaluate media messages based on our own experiences, skills, beliefs, and values.

 Media literacy builds an understanding of the role of media in society as well as essential skills of inquiry and self-expression necessary for citizens of a democracy.
