Media and Information Literacy subject helped me a lot in knowing in depth fields in media. I was able to know or to differentiate rather the traditional media from modern media and how it runs. It enabled me to think carefully and critically based on the topic that has been given. It is very significant to us, the youths, where in we are very careless in clicking and in disseminating information online. We were dominated by fake news and other propaganda that has been served to us. We can be easily tamed and believed even it doesn't have evidence that it is true. It made us media pro or expert, we are now careful in doing some stuff in social media since, in just few seconds, million of people can be reached with the information we have given.
FIVE THINGS TO HELP PROMOTE BETTER LITERACY AMONG OTHERS
1. EDUCATE YOUR FELLOW YOUTH
Educating or teaching your fellow youth about the rules in media can help them a lot. They can now determine things that are good or bad for them or for others.
2. STOP SPREADING FAKE NEWS
A no, no, no, no to media. People who are not aware about how things run in social media can be easily deceived by fake news disseminating online. It is also one of the major reason why many people are media illiterate because of sharing wrong information online.
3. SHARING YOUR KNOWLEDGE IN MEDIA
Through this, you can help a lot of people in knowing their limitations in social media and how to use it correctly.
4. OBSERVE
By observing, people would be aware about the things they share in any platform of media.
5. GENERATING AWARENESS
People should know about the importance of media. Creating awareness among them will generate a positive attitude toward media.
