Traditional Literacy vs Media Literacy - 8 views

  During my research I came across a number of books and articles which suggests that traditional literacy (books, journals, magazines, etc.) and media literacy (internet, mobile text & chat, blogs, etc.) are different type of literacies and therefore one does not enhance the other, but breaks away from it and we all have to develop new skills to learn media literacy. So is learning a new literacy enhancing the old one?

  That's definitely a great question, Tony. Something we should look further into!

  I've been trying to formulate some additional ideas in support of this argument, but I'm not there yet, so still working on it.

  This is a good question. Maybe the new and the old exist together. For example, paperless versions of magazines and newspapers on iPads and related technology. Reducing waste, but that's a different subject. Medias literacy is something we are all learning everyday, I just can't read a magazine online or a newspaper online. I have to physically have it in front of me to grasp the content.
