Professor Brian McFadden on Popularization of news and ever changing rules of social media.

Media literacy is the ability to identify different types of media and understand the messages they're sending.

To emphasize how important this topic is to me, here is a link that will give you a run down of the concept of media literacy. I personally believe we must adapt to the constant changing nature of media and the sooner people are able to adapt and understand the many messages sent by media, the better off we will be.
