Critical Thinking and Media Literacy

Media literacy is defined as a discipline that helps students develop the ability to interpret creativity in media, whether in entertainment, communication, information, etc.

This discipline also helps with critical thinking, as a method of assessing credibility and gathering information in the media.

That is why media literacy is developed in higher education, as it also develops critical thinking. However, this requires cognitive, emotional, and social skills, as well as technological skills and tools for understanding the authenticity of information.
