This document provides an introduction to media and information literacy (MIL) from a lecture by Marvin Bronoso at The Manila Times College of Subic. It defines MIL as a set of competencies to understand how media operate, how they construct meaning, and how to evaluate information. The key topics covered include what MIL is, why it is important, its 5 components, and future directions. MIL emphasizes an expanded definition of literacy that includes various media formats and involves teaching both through and about media using strategies like case studies, textual analysis, and problem solving.
