Might media literacy education help to increase knowledgeand/or shape attitudes about media’s roles and practices pertaining to race andethnicity?
I think definitely!
I think you could figure out how to put porn and violence-related results, say, on the second page
We can send people to the moon... I would hope this wouldn't be that difficult
ased on these search results, constructions of women’s identities and inter-ests seem to be based on traditional, limited sexist norms, just as they are in the traditional media.
Media through the lens of the male gaze
Google searches on every variation you can think of for women’s and girls’ identities and you will see many of the ways in which commercial interests have subverted a diverse (or realistic) range of representations.
The way women are portrayed in the media is very intersectional, and disappointing...
Replay again with the picture off
It's funny because if you've ever been watching a show or movie on mute, it takes away so much of the emotional response we feel when we consume video based media. This is a cool exercise because it really helps divide the media into separate layers.
Most media messages are organizedto gain profit and/or power.

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.
Thinking about how to incorporate this into my final project... I love the clarity this provides
To participate in today’s global society, citizens need the skills to access, analyze, evaluate, create and participate with media information 24/7.
It's funny to think about the fact that my generation was one of the last to grow up without media access everywhere, anywhere, anytime. It was nice to grow up like that! I wonder if kids today feel overwhelmed at all, or if that's just their normal.
Looking at a media message or experience from just one perspective is NOT media • literacy because media should be examined from multiple positions
This makes a lot of sense to me. One perspective would be missing that "critical" aspect I feel like, thinking about something critically takes multiple perspectives.
“inquiry process”
I work for a group called InquiryHub and that was my first exposure to this type of learning. I'd never even known about it before that. I think it's so cool!!
