Media Literacy: What is it?

I know, I know. I bang this drum over and over, it must get tiresome. Yet here I am again.

I was doing some reading today and came across this web site which has lots of information about Media Literacy, and how we can all smarten up. It emphasizes the particular importance of children being educated in their early years as the world becomes virtual, and telling the truth from fiction can be very difficult.

This is a link to the site, and I thought people could investigate, or not, as suits. :)

"Media literacy refers to the skills needed to be able to critically access, analyse, evaluate and create media in various forms. Media literacy is an essential life skill, especially in an increasingly digital age. Evaluating the reliability of online media and news stories, and most recently, AI outputs, requires evermore complex skills, including critical, digital and information literacy."
