What is Media Literacy?

These two video documentaries explain how media literacy is about analyzing and accessing today’s news. It shows us the two trends of media; the corporatism/consolidation/centralization media and the diversity/localism/independent type of media. Producers explain how media is starting to affect people’s way of living in both good and bad ways and how we should focus more in the diversity/localism/independent type of media.
 The problem happening now in the media marketing is that some producers will do and advertise anything in order to make a profit. Media Producers are now trying to find a way to increase the number of people accessing the diversity/localism/independent type of media. Producers, journalists, public speakers and teachers, are now coming up with ideas to attract people’s attention into media that will help us understanding the role and relationship with society which is a very important fact in order to being a good consumer.
My expectations for this year are to learn more about what is going on around the world and how people are reacting to these events.
