Media Literacy News
Welcome to Mr. Do-Tran's and Mrs. Check's Media Literacy Page
Media literacy is the ability to access, analyze, evaluate, and create media. Media literate youth and adults are better able to understand the complex messages we receive from television, radio, Internet, newspapers, magazines, books, billboards, video games, music, and all other forms of media.
