Definition of Media and Information Literacy

Media and Information Literacy (MEDINFO) enables people to show and make informed judgments as users of information and media, as well as to become skillful creators and producers of information and media messages in their own right.

Media and Information Literacy consists of the knowledge, the attitudes, and the sum of the skills needed to know when and what information is needed; where and how to obtain that information; how to evaluate it critically and organise it once it is found; and how to use it in an ethical way. The concept extends beyond communication and information technologies to encompass learning, critical thinking, and interpretative skills across and beyond professional and educational boundaries. Media and Information Literacy includes all types of information resources: oral, print, and digital. Media and Information Literacy is a basic human right in an increasingly digital, interdependent, and global world, and promotes greater social inclusion. It can bridge the gap between the information rich and the information poor. Media and Information Literacy empowers and endows individuals with knowledge of the functions of the media and information systems and the conditions under which these functions are performed” (IFLA, 2011).

“We live in a world where the quality of information we receive largely determines our choices and ensuing actions, including our capacity to enjoy fundamental freedoms and the ability for self-determination and development. Driven by technological improvements in telecommunications, there is also a proliferation of media and other information providers through which vast amounts of information and knowledge are accessed and shared by citizens. Adding to and emanating from this phenomenon is the challenge to assess the relevance and the reliability of the information” (UNESCO, p. 11, 2011).

IV. Media And Information Literate

I am a media-literate and information-literate person because..

I am a media-literate and information-literate person. Media literate person knows the influence of the information to the minds and can manage with it. I can stop reading or listening news for making the silence around me and not to worry if I misses something very important, because there isn’t important. When I need some information, my question is exact, well-constructed. The literate person can ask such a way to find all needed, to search with well-organized and trained vision of text structure. He or she has got tools for comprehensive reading, skilled not to accept all but as a membrane let the useful go through emotional line, getting rid of empty or harm. I believe I possessed the main trait of the media literate person – to be able to separate him-/herself from the information influence, staying out of emotions.
