Introduction to Media and Information Literacy

Have you heard time and again the adage “No


man is an Island.” What does this saying really
mean to you? How do you feel when you are
alone and you have no one else to talk to or share
your thoughts with? How about if you accidentally
left your mobile phone at home, or you are not
able to connect ti the Internet and chat with your Shannon and Weaver’s Communication Model
friends? Do you feel the sense of distance of
disconnect from the world?

Humans are social beings. Despite the few


occations of solitude , chatting with friends either
face-to-face, through telephone, or online seems
to be a more likable situation to be in. People
value the simplest opportunities to communicate
not just with themselves, but most especially with
other people. Westly and Maclean Model of Communication

Communication is a natural and inescapable fact


of life. Every individual is born with it. This is
precisely the reason why you are taught to learn
how to speak, read, write, or use communication
gadgets at an early age. Communication is all
about these skills your parents would like to learn
when you were younger.

Defining communication

Littlejohn and Foss (2008) – “One of those


everyday activities that is intertwined with all
human life so completely that we sometimes
overlook its pervasiveness, importance, and
complexity.” 2. Ritual or expressive model. The need
to share understanding and emotions.
Communication is from the latin term Examples are symbolism or euphemism to

culture of the receiver.
Schramm’s Model Big Idea
The world you live in is fast paces, thus, change is
inevotable. Communication, media and
informationare ubiquitous and related, and your
ability to discern them increases your likelihood to
succeed in your personal and professional lives.

The UNESCO, defined literacy as the “ability to


identify, understand, interpret, create,
communicate, and compute, using printed and
Berlo’s Model written materials associated with varying
contexts.”

Big Idea
When you are literate, you are expected to be
intellectually critical in interpreting the things that
you see and experience around you. You are able
to decode and have a deeper understanding of
how things are and how they work you to be able
to affect change to yourself and to others.
