Media literacy is the ability to sift through and analyze the messages that inform, entertain and sell to us every day. It's the ability to analyze all aspects of the media like music videos, online environments and the many advertisements in sports. There are three stages of media literacy. 1: BE AWARE.

This analysis allows us to understand who drives our global economy and ultimately allows us to make better decisions based on our own opinions.
