21. Media Literacy Questions What are the messages of this media and how are they communicated? Who produced this and for what purpose? When was this produced and for what purpose? Who was the target audience? Is this an accurate and credible representation? How does this reflect the perspective or bias of the creator? What information or perspective is left out of this message? How might different people interpret this message differently? Who might benefit from and who might be harmed by this message?

22. Effective Media Analysis Knowledge that: All media messages are “constructed.” Each medium has different characteristics, strengths, and a unique “language” of construction. Media messages contain embedded values and points of view. People use their individual skills, beliefs and experiences to construct their own meanings from media messages. Media and media messages can influence beliefs, attitudes, values, behaviors, and the democratic process.

23. Media Literacy Education Requires active inquiry and critical thinking about the messages we receive and create Expands the concepts of literacy (reading , writing, speaking, listening) to include all forms of media Builds and reinforces skills for learners of all ages; those skills necessitate integrated, interactive and repeated practice Develops informed, reflective and engaged participants essential for a democratic society Recognizes that media are a part of culture and function as agents of socialization Affirms that people use their individual skills, beliefs and experiences to construct their own meanings from media messages.
