MEDIA LITERACY & FAKE NEWS

This manual is about media literacy as well as the ability to think critically about information you spend and you create. That includes them ability to distinguish fact from opinion, and to understand how the media can sometimes be used for persuasion people. Media literacy is important because that is the basis for being an informed and critical thinker in one world where technology and media are ubiquitous, helping to immunize people against improper persuasion and falsehood information.
