Media literacy

"Media literacy is the ability to access, understand and critically evaluate different aspects of the media and media content and communicate in a variety of contexts. It relates to all media, including television and film, radio and recorded music, print media, the internet and all other digital technologies." (European Commission 2009)

"Media literacy is the process of analyzing, evaluating and creating messages in a wide variety of media modes, genres and forms. It uses an inquiry-based instructional model that encourages people to ask questions about what they watch, see, and read." (Wikipedia 2009)

In the Finnish language, the concept of Mediakasvatus (Media Education) is an established term that stands for the work performed by education professionals when supporting the learning of children, young people and adults involving different media. This educational work may include both teaching about the media and through media, which means media can be involved as a learning object or teaching tool as well as educational content itself. The objective of media education is to provide individual with media literacy skills and make them able to utilize as well as produce media, able to understand media production and expressions of media, to reflect on his personal relationship with media and to apply critical thinking as well as embrace self-expression.
