The Power of

Media and Information

consumers of the media
and other information
sources, but are now
producers as well”
TRUE or FALSE
1. Nothing is private in social media
2. Media provide economic
opportunities for people of all ages.
3. Abuse in media and information
usage can risk the consumer
himself/herself.
4. The user (consumer or producer)
is more powerful than the means
(media and information).
 “With a great power comes great responsibility"
When you send a text messages, post status on Facebook,
tweet on Twitter, and upload photos on Instagram, your power
crawls out from being a student to being a producer of
information.
If you have posted a picture of broken street light, several
messages can be elicited from it, it could mirror a lapse in
government expenditures, or criminal act of locals in the area
