2. WHAT IS MEDIA INFORMATION?
Media and Information Literacy (MIL) is a “combination of
knowledge, attitudes, skills, and practices required to
access, analyze, evaluate, use, produce, and communicate
information and knowledge in creative, legal and ethical
ways that respect human rights”

3. Media has evolved through the years making people’s life easier. One of the most effective use of media is on
communication. Media plays a significant role in sharing information across the globe. Media keeps people aware
and updated on important events and happenings. But in other hand, media also has it’s advantages and
disadvantages.
Different forms and types of media are can be found everywhere , as a result we can easily access information
with just one click. But using social media has it’s downside. Media can affect a person in a negative way. People’s
opinion and thoughts can be limited in medias. Although you can share your thoughts freely, you can still
experience judgements and harsh comments on your opinion. A person can experience cyberbullying. Another
downside in media is that sometimes it provides us with fake and unreliable information.

4. TIPS FOR RESPONSIBLE SOCIAL MEDIA USE
Keep your profiles set to private - As a general rule of thumb, it is good
practice to keep your social media profiles and accounts set to private.
Avoid posting unprofessional photos or statements - View your social
media accounts through the lens of an employer and adjust the contents
of your account accordingly.
Do not post your whereabouts - While it can be tempting to post vacation
photos or photos while out and about on the town, doing so tells
everyone with access to your social media accounts that your house is
unoccupied and could invite a thief to come to your house during this
time.
Think twice before posting in an emotional state - Although it can feel
therapeutic in the moment, making a social media post in anger can have
repercussions long after the statement is made.
