Why media literacy matters 3/7
Asking the right questions
To navigate this complex environment, media literacy encourages us to ask:
- Who created this message?
- What is their purpose?
- Is the information supported by facts or just emotions?
- Are certain voices being amplified or silenced?
- What’s missing or left unsaid?
- How can I check if this is accurate?
These simple questions can help you spot manipulation, recognise bias, and make informed decisions — whether you’re choosing a news source or voting in an election.
