Key Concepts of Media Literacy

The media, to a great extent, present us with versions of reality. When analyzing a media text consider the following questions: How is this message constructed? How well does it represent reality?
 * ** All media are constructions of reality ** ||

What lifestyles, values, and points of view are represented in or omitted from this message? We need to decode media messages about such issues as the nature of the “good life”, the virtue of consumerism, the role of women, the acceptance of authority, and unquestioning patriotism.
 * ** Media contain beliefs & messages ** ||

Each person(s) can interpret or negotiate a message differently based on age, culture, life experiences, values and beliefs. When analyzing a media text, consider: How might others understand this message differently? Think demographics!
 * ** Each person interprets messages differently ** ||

When analyzing a media text, consider: Who created this and why? Who profits if the message is accepted? Who may be disadvantaged?
 * ** The media have special interests (commercial, ideological, political) ** ||

Why do T.V. news programs start with music? What elements to all of your science textbooks have in common? Media use images, text and sound. When analyzing a media text, consider: What techniques are used and why? Developing media literacy skills enable us not only to decode and understand media texts, but also to enjoy the unique aesthetic form of each. Our enjoyment of media is enhanced by an awareness of how pleasing forms or effects are created.
 * ** Each medium has its own conventions, language, style, form, techniques & aesthetics ** ||
