Evolution of media

traditional media is still very much alive and well. There is no argument that traditional media is undergoing a huge transformation and has required a “digital tune-up,” which has been crucial to its survival. How many of you have watched a TV show, whether it was on the TV or your tablet? How many of you drove to work and listened to the radio? Oh, and while you were on your way to work, did you see a billboard? I am willing to bet that you were able to answer yes to at least one of those questions, if not all of them, and it is further proof that traditional advertising is not dead.

The Value of Being a Media & Information Literate

Literacy gives us the ability to read and write. Today, we get most of our information through an interwoven system of media technologies. Media literacy is the ability to access, analyze, evaluate, and create media. Being media literate means being able to create media messages and to use the technology tools available to us. It means being able to think critically and speak confidently.

I believe that the majority of teenagers today know the underlying themes of the media, and know that it is all scripted, however, the matter of fact is that teenagers can relate so much to the themes in the media that they slowly begin to believe it. Once they get introduced to the characters, they gradually start to consider them real, and relating to them more and more. If we have these media literacy skills, we are able to free our minds. We are able to make our own judgments and choices. And we are able to express our own views creatively and effectively.

Having a media literate society is the essence of having a democratic society and a market-based economy. It is the essence of having the ability to both enhance and protect our precious freedoms. It presumes that we, the people, are smart and capable and responsible. It reinforces that expectation that, if we are responsible, others should exercise responsibility, as well.
