It involves developing independent judgments about media content, understanding the process of mass communication and its impact, and employing strategies to analyze and discuss media messages.

Media and information literacy lesson 3 responsible use media and information for grade 12 students.. the learning objectives are to learn your responsibility as a media and information consumer and producer
Professor Renee Hobbs explores how disparities in access to information contribute to misunderstandings and explains how analyzing media helps make our interpretation processes transparent. She shows how creating media helps people share in the social power of representing ideas and identity and notes that such competencies are essential for advancing the social responsibilities of media consumers and creators.
The media plays an important role in defining who we are, what we desire and what is acceptable (or not) in our reality.
In this talk, we discuss the current state of affairs and discuss how we improve upon it.
