Media Literacy is the ability to recognize the different types of media and understand all that has been presented by the media.
It is very important to be media literate in order to be able to use the different media available for your benefit, such as websites, virtual reality, the radio and newspaper.
A media literate person gains critical thinking skills, even James Potter (2010) states so.
Media can be used for many things, namely:
Informing people about somethings they might not know, that is usually done by a NewsChannel.
Entertainment purposes , like watching creative videos on Youtube
To bring people together or enable them to work together.
Share opinions on social media platforms.
