Steps to Achieving Basic Media-Literacy Skills

6 Steps to Achieving Basic Media-Literacy Skills

1.     Ask yourself, what is the purpose of the media content?
2.     Consider the source
3.     Examine framing of media content
4.     What stereotypes are presented?
5.     Question the media ecosystem (who is impacted by stereotypes and framing)
6.     Make the media


In times where technology is everywhere and it is crucial to understand and to operate, practicing media literacy skills will help you identify stereotypes, framing, and media bias, and will ultimately prove you with a more clear judgment of what is going on in the world around you. These steps were presented in our book, Converging Media by Pavlik, and McIntosh.
