Media Literacy
Media Literacy is a 21st century approach to education. It provides a framework to access, analyze, evaluate, create and participate with messages in a variety of forms — from print to video to the Internet. 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.
Center for Media Literacy
FIVE CORE CONCEPTSCenter for Media Literacy www.medialit.org
All media messages are constructed Media messages are constructed using
a creative language with its own rules Different people experience the same
message differently Media have embedded values and
points of view Most media messages are organized to
gain profit and/or power
Media Literacy “While more young people have access to the Internet and other media than any generation in history, they do not necessarily possess the
ethics, the intellectual skills, or the predisposition to critically analyze and
evaluate their relationship with these technologies or the information they encounter. Good hand/eye
co-ordination and the ability to multitask are not substitutes for critical thinking.”
Dr. David Considine, media educator

Types of Messages Art Silverblatt
Manifest Messages Direct and clear to the audience
Latent MessagesIndirect and beneath the surface, often escape our immediate attention; can reinforce manifest or may suggest entirely different meaning
Cumulative MessagesOccur with such frequency that over time they form new meanings, independent of any individual production
Direct & Clear
A bit more indirect:Smoking is cool!

Don Goble, Broadcast Technology and Film
"We post food for thought and interesting articles periodically, but the work really belongs to the kids. They post questions and responses to the reading and then interact with each other. It has really changed the comprehension level of discussion - we can usually bypass a lot of it and head into heady places more quickly. It also provides some nice levity and an informal way to approach lit. The kids use memes and gifs in their discussions. Finally, they get to show off some of their own areas of expertise. For example, when we were reading Crime and Punishment, I had a student who was interested in Russian philosophy who would post interesting articles/info that could help people with context."

Anyone can be a citizen journalist
Media Teaches
Citizen Journalist:
“Citizen journalism refers to the reporting of news events by members of the public using the Internet to spread the information. Citizen journalism can be a simple reporting of facts and news that is largely ignored by large media companies. It is easily spread through personal websites, blogs, microblogs, social media and so on. Some types of citizen journalism also act as a check on the reporting of larger news outlets by providing alternative analysis”

Advertising to Children and Teens: Current Practices
The average American child age 8 or older spends more than seven hours a day with screen media, watching TV, using the computer, playing video games, and using hand-held devices (Rideout et al., 2010). Even much younger children, age 2-8, spend nearly two hours a day with screen media (Common Sense Media, 2013). And through virtually all these media, children are exposed to advertising. ~ Common Sense Media Research Brief 2014
Advertising is a pervasive influence on children and adolescents. Young people view more than 40 000 ads per year on television alone and increasingly are being exposed to advertising on the Internet, in magazines, and in schools. ~ 2007 http://pediatrics.aappublications.org/content/118/6/2563
