Big Break Programme, Media licteracy




I found it by chance when i tried to watch Big Brother Programme. This programme is so funny whatsoever.



I do some research on Media which i will have to discuss on Friday.


Media literacy
In today’s multi-media society, media competence is increasingly important. A media literate society knows where to find the information it needs and how to identify the economic, political, social, commercial and cultural interests that generated it. This section of the site defines media literacy and its key principles and lists other useful sources of information.


Here is my note-taking what i read about this subject-Media licteracy. There is a link of each section of this topic when you click on the title.



MEDIA LICTERACY



Literacy (n) the ability to read and write, knowledge of a particular subject

Different resources both via broadcasting and written materials

Aim to develop media competence.



Every children develops differently.

Media literacy is a place where chidren know the society outside their houses and reflect what they hear and see.



Most important characteristic of critical viewing: understand the reason why everyone likes or dislikes a programme, distinguish between real life and what one watch on TV.
Should it be taught in school?
Teaching media literacy is teaching critical thinking
It should "start early, with simple activities in preschool, and continue through high school," says Tessa Jolls, president and CEO of the Santa Monica–based Center for Media Literacy
It provides guidance and curricula for school districts interested in taking on this most challenging task.
Think more: we teach our children how to read about, watch, interpret, understand and analyze the day's events, we risk raising a generation of civic illiterates, political ignoramuses and uncritical consumers, vulnerable not only to crackpot ideas, faulty reasoning and putative despots but fraudulent sales pitches and misleading advertising claims
civic (n) the study of the way in which a local government works and of the rights and duties of the people
fraudulent (a) dishonest and illegal
