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)

It the skill of determining whether news or information is from a reliable source or not… you see a story about some topic and is it coming from the New York Times or RacistRicksMAGABlog.com, is a tweet on Teitter from a member of Congress or some random old guy yelling at clouds.
