As media and information have grown more complex, it is up to individuals to develop literacy skills to understand and cope with these changes. Being media and information literate affects both individuals and society by helping people recognize their own cognitive biases that can influence how they think about information while also working to reduce those biases.

    MEDIA AND INFORMATION

    LITERATE INDIVIDUAL
    Lesson 1: The Impact of Media and Information
    • Media and information have always been
    part of human culture and society, and they
    have grown in response to our evolving
    needs and developing technology. Print,
    broadcast, and digital new media have
    become more sophisticated and the
    information they provide has grown more
    complicated. It is up to the individual to
    develop a level of literacy to cope with these
    changes.
    How does media and information literacy affect the
    life of an individual?
    How does media and information literacy affect
    society?
    • One view of media and information
    literacy assumes it is all about making
    sure we have the “correct” information,
    but it does not end there. Cognitive
    biases can also get in our way while
    seeming to be normal ways of thinking.
    • Part of becoming more media and
    information literate is recognizing our
    own biases, and working to reduce or
    eliminate them.
