Journal Article
Critical Awakening: Enhancing Students' Agency through Critical Media Literacy
2024
Overview
[...]this study will explore the concept of media literacy and its most incisive variant, critical media literacy (CML), and its importance and impact on higher education institutions and students. [...]the significance of this study is that CML may encourage faculty in higher education institutions to promote classes, programs, and workshops to students, including those from majors unrelated to communication or journalism since it directly impacts people's ability to participate within their communities and broader society democratically. The Problem The rise of digital technologies and social media platforms has significantly changed the media landscape, leading to increased accessibility and democratization of information but also introducing new challenges and risks, such as misinformation, disinformation, fake news, and the emergence of a post-truth era (Buckingham, 2019). [...]media literacy is particularly important in a period of unbridled access to all sorts of content (Hobbs et al., 2022). Having inadequate media literacy skills means being at the mercy of the tides of mis- and disinformation. Since misinformation refers to false or inaccurate information regardless of whether there is intent to mislead (Allcott & Gentzkow, 2017; United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees [UNHCR], 2022), it will not be mentioned further.
