Media literacy is the practice of critical thinking in the online space. However, unfortunately, a major part of the population is lost on critical thinking. More commonly people are convinced that they already have developed their ability to think critically when they do not have it at all. ;)

! .But we are not supposed to directly judge people for that. Everyone has their own development pace. !

Based on that, we prepared some tips on how everyone can develop their critical thinking and media literacy.

⭐️ Try to look for refutation of information from unreliable sources.

⭐️ Check sources from which information is taken.

⭐️ If you do not understand the to pic, do not take the first fact that pop into your eyes as the truth.

⭐️ Question every information that you see online.

⭐️ Keep your social distance. (try not to get into online conflicts)

⭐️ If you think you know everything, then you probably don't know much.

What is media literacy?
Media literacy is the ability to apply critical thinking skills to the media we engage. Media literacy allows users to analyze media messages to see propaganda, censorship, or one-sidedness in news and special programs and understand the structural elements that affect the information. For example, who is the media owner, and what is their funding model.

Why is it important?
Nowadays, fake news and disinformation has become widespread in the internet age, so it’s important to be able to differentiate between fake news and real news. The media we consume shapes our opinions on many different important topics – including politics, healthcare, and current events.
The last thing we want is to base such important opinions on lies and misinformation. Platforms such as Instagram and Facebook allow rapid sharing of information, which gives news a chance to spread quickly, often making the fake news seem believable.

Social media literacy is looking specifically at platforms such as Facebook 🔵 or Twitter 🐤and learning how to critically analyse the content published here from a technical, cognitive, and emotional angle. 🔊

The technical 📢aspects centre on being aware of how the platform works – who can post what content, how it can be interacted with, 🔻and the underlying algorithms that present certain users’ content to you.🔸
