  Media Literacy Media literacy is the ability to understand and analyze the messages we receive from media sources like TV, newspapers, and the internet. It helps us make sense of the information we see and hear every day. Firstly, media literacy involves questioning what we see. We should not believe everything we see on TV or read online. Instead, we should ask ourselves questions like, "Who created this message?" and "Why was it made?" This helps us understand the intentions behind the media we consume.
