Updated Definition:
What is Media Literacy?
Media Literacy is a 21st century approach to
education.
It provides a framework to access, analyze,
evaluate
and create messages in a variety of forms
- from print to video to the Internet.
Media Literacy builds an understanding
of the role of media in society,
as well as essential skills
of inquiry and self-expression necessary
for citizens of a democracy.
“Media rich lessons”

• From a Media Lit Website - Social Studies:
Facilitate a discussion of the relationship between
media and terrorism . What use do terrorists make
of various media? How do terrorists manipulate the
news media into communicating their messages and
furthering their causes? In recent years, how have
terrorists used self-produced Web sites and video to
achieve their objectives? How dependent are
terrorists on media messages about their activities?
Prepare for this discussion by defining the word,
“terrorism”. How is terrorism different from any
other combat? Then, have student groups analyze the
media coverage of a selected terrorist act based on
the questions listed here and then share their findings
with the class.
Terrorism: a political issue.

nation.
