There are various ways to make an individual literate in media and
information processing. Someone who is considered literate in media and
information processing is someone who can discern and identify what is fake news and what is not. They are also expected to be able to process and understand the information being provided to them and perhaps explain it to others as well.
Unfortunately, in the Philippines there is very low media literacy rate. In
order to increase the media literacy rate, teachers need to make sure that students in school are exposed to various types of media available. This means exposure to radio, newspaper, TV and even social media. This ensures that they are able to know how information is usually presented in these mediums. Students need to enhance their reading comprehension as well. It is not enough that they recall information, but also connect dots in relation to these pieces of information. Having sufficient experience in each of the tenets above, even at a lower level, qualifies someone to be referred to as media and information literate. A synthesis of the above is the overall main goal. The knowledge has no use to you until you find ways to put it into practice. This is especially important when you are a student preparing a research paper or doing a presentation for your higher ups.
