From morning radio shows and print newspapers to evening news broadcasts, viral TikTok videos, and political leaflets in our mailboxes — we are surrounded by media. Media is part of our everyday life, shaping what we know, how we feel, and what we believe about the world around us.

But how often do we pause to ask: Where is this information coming from? Can I trust it? What might be missing?

This module introduces you to media literacy — a set of skills that help you navigate and make sense of all kinds of media, whether it’s printed, broadcast, spoken, or digital.
