The Media Literacy Standard

The Media Literacy Standard is a set of guidelines that helps individuals critically evaluate and understand media content. It encourages us to question the source, purpose, and accuracy of information we encounter in news, social media, ads, and entertainment. By developing these skills, people can better distinguish fact from opinion, recognize bias, and make informed decisions. Essentially, it promotes thoughtful engagement with media to prevent manipulation and misinformation, fostering a more informed and discerning audience capable of navigating the complex media landscape responsibly.
