What Is It
A media literate person can decode, evaluate, analyze and produce both print and

relationship to all media. Emphases in media literacy training range widely, including
informed citizenship, aesthetic appreciation and expression, social advocacy, self-esteem,
and consumer competence (Kotlay, 2011).

Media and information literacy empower individuals to think critically about the media and information they
receive through an inquiry process. The goal of media and information literacy is to enable individuals to become
involved citizens and responsible decision-makers. MIL allows individuals to examine media at a critical distance by
examining the source, the context, the message, and the medium through which it is received, as well as its
representations and intended audience, as well as the institutional environment from which the message emanates.
Developing media and information abilities is extremely important in today's media landscape. The blurring of the
barriers between producers and consumers has tested what we consider media messages and made information access
universal: on social media sites, a news article, a video, a meme, or a status update or comment compete for our
attention.
Anyone can now establish an official-looking website or social media account for very little money.
Misinformation has frequently arisen from seemingly legitimate websites, making it extremely difficult to flag false or
misleading information using traditional methods, such as checklists with questions prompting evaluation of sites for
relevance, accuracy, authority, and purpose. When it comes to selecting who and what to believe when it comes to
reviewing news online, whether it comes from trustworthy sources or not, critical thinking is required. The difficulty
of training consumers to analyze critically reflects on the highly diverse spectrum of available media. Media and
information literacy is a great objective in the twenty-first century. Users must not only become media literate in
terms of conventional media and visual representation, but they must also become media literate in terms of the wave
of different technology provided and the creation of applications providing whole new methods of communicating
information. Responsibility and self-control are required to be media and information literate. We must be cautious
about what we say and share on social media. We must take full responsibility for every action we take. Many media
and social media users are unaware and irresponsible. We tend to forget basic etiquette that we must follow as
individuals because of our independence and liberty. Most of the time, we abuse our freedom and, unfortunately, are
unaware of it.
The transition of contemporary society has accelerated in the previous decade, resulting in tremendous
economic, technical, and social change and a new set of difficulties to confront. One of these issues is vast and
debatable, with the amount of information available to everyone with the click of a mouse. In this setting, today's
citizens must learn new abilities to deal with this new reality. Digital literacy, critical thinking, and media literacy are
crucial skills and competencies required of today's modern citizenry. Being media and information literate is
important for your own understanding and for disseminating information to others. As we all know, youths nowadays
are into SNS (Social Networking Sites), where most teenagers learn and grasp what is going on in their environment,
and since they are informed, they share what they read. People may communicate and promote awareness to everyone
by sharing (knowledge on SNS). This perspective for such digital users may assist others to understand that being on
social media is not just a disadvantage, but it also has a significant function for everyone to be media and information
literate.
