My understanding of Media Literacy

                               My understanding of Media Literacy

           Media literacy is an important ability for people.It means that a person's attitude towards the media and if one can use the media skillfully.

          In my opinion,in the evolving knowledge societies of today,some people are overloaded with 

media information others are starved for it.Media Literacy is a basis for enhancing access to  infor-mation and knowledge ,freedom of expression ,and quality education.It describes skills,andattitudes that are needed to value the functions of media and other information providers,including those on  

the Internet,in societies and to find ,evaluate and produce information and media content. 

           In other words it covers the competencies that are vital for people to be effectively engaged in all aspects of development.
