  8. Media literacy is a pedagogical approach promoting the use of diverse types of media and information communication technology (from crayons to webcams) to question the roles of media and society and the multiple meanings of all types of messages. Analysis of media content is combined with inquiry into the medium. This approach is analytical and skill-based. Thus media literacy integrates the process of critical inquiry with the creation of media as students examine, create, and disseminate their own alternative images, sounds, and thoughts.

  9. Media literacy includes the skills of accessing, analyzing, evaluating, creating, and distributing messages as well as the cultural competencies and social skills associated with a growing participatory culture. This participatory culture is characterized not simply by “individual expression” but also by “community involvement,” requiring “social skills developed through collaboration and networking.” (Jenkins et al, 2007, p. 4). Media literacy also includes analysis of ideology and power as students learn how media are used to position audiences and frame public opinion.
