What is “media literacy” and why is it important to understanding a story?

405 viewsOther

I often see the term “media literacy” used when someone doesn’t understand the message a story is trying to convey, and they’re described as “lacking media literacy”. What does it mean, why is it important, and how do I know if I have good media literacy or not?

(Edit: I should specify that i’m using the term “story” to refer to fictional stories rather than news stories/articles)

Reading between the lines. You’re picking up the inferences the author left but didn’t actually write.
