Media are the channels through which humankind communicates. Media conveys meaning through different mediums such as television broadcasts , newspapers or films . The word mass refers to a large number of elements, so mass media is a means of communicating to numerous audiences. A text is anything that communicates a message. What is media literacy? Media literacy is all about taking a second look at media texts. This basically means that when we hear or look at media, we can miss elements that are not obvious or explicit. Media literacy is about learning to “read” media in order to find those underlying meanings in a text.
