11. Media Literacy

Media Literacy is seen to consist of a series of communication competencies, including the ability to 

ACCESS, ANALYZE, EVALUATE and COMMUNICATE information in a variety of forms, including print and non-print messages.

Media refers to all technologies or digital means and artistic visuals used to transmit messages.

Literacy is the ability to encode and decode symbols and to synthesize, analyze messages.

Media Literacy is the ability to encode and decode the symbols transmitted via media and the ability to synthesize, analyze and produced messages. 

Media Literacy represents a necessary, inevitable and realistic response to the complex, ever-changing environment and communication that surround us.

Nowadays most of the people are lack of education means lack of awareness and that lack of awareness is often perpetuated by the media.

Media Literacy and Media Education are used synonymously in most English-Speaking nations.

Media Education is the process of teaching and learning about media. It's about developing the public's critical and creative abilities when it comes to media. Education for media literacy often uses an inquiry based model that encourages people to ask questions about what they hear,watch and read. In our new generation Media Education or Media Literacy is very important for us to know about this thing. 

Last Wednesday, November 28, 2015 in Auditorium, we attended a seminar about Media Literacy the Title was Mobilizing the Millenials as Socially Responsible Prosumers. The seminar was good because it gives us information about media, technology, social media and etc.

There are 3 speakers who is from GMA network
These three speakers are very young but they already working in one of the public affairs in the Philippines which is the State of the Nation of Jessica Soho.

This three lovely ladies taught us different things that we can apply or we can use in our daily lives. The first speaker taught us how to make a good report and what are the things you should know that you should do in doing a report so that you can make a good report. One of the most important thing that I've learned from her is the So what ? question in making a report. Only few people know about the so what question so that other people don't care to their  report. Everyone can make a new report but the question of everyone is SO WHAT ? why do we need care ? why do we need to pay attention to your report ? and How it is important this is the things that we also must considered to make a report so that we can make a great report to get the attention of everybody.

However, the second speaker taught us different things or information about social media. We all know that most of the people are now addicted to social media but some of us don't use the social media properly so that they get in trouble.
She taught us that in social media you can also get some information or news it's not only about the trending topics in showbiz like ALDUB but it also about the trending news in our country. Social media helps everyone to know what's going on in our country so she said that sometimes they used social media to tell their report or to tell some news that we need to pay attention.
