I earned my MA in Media Literacy, and I'm really happy to see this on here. For those engaging in Media Literacy for the first time, it's important to remember that literacy involves both reading AND writing (or, in ML's case, interpretation and production). Analyzing how media is created is aided by creating media itself. Once you learn some of the theory behind media, apply it to your own work, and you'll learn a lot more about the media creation process!

It's crazy to think about how much I can understand about this for the sole reason that I was raised with social media since I began my adolescent years. I cannot imagine the level of social consciousness regarding media literacy the generations to come will possess. Anyways, as always, an excellent video!

I majored in Media Studies for my undergrad and got to write a paper on internet culture (particularly the HP fandom) that I got to present at a communication conference a couple years ago! We had to take a media literacy course for our degree too and got to teach kids at a local elementary school. It’s a super fascinating subject and if you’re looking for a job in that vein I would totally recommend it!!

Something I like to say related to media is that a Historian's job is to study and make sense of the past, whereas a Journalist's job is to study and make sense of the present- or in other words, to make Future Historians' jobs easier. I hope you cover journalistic ethics and the dangers of doing it irresponsibly in this series.

Wait so multimedia, literally means multiple multiple medium?

@joshuawalker7054 6 жыл бұрын

It's a transportation system that allows for delivery of different types of media *at the same time* - For example - CD-ROM was multimedia because one storage system could carry Audio, Video, and Data at the same time.

Joshua Walker that’s a long way of saying “yes” lol

@Pfhorrest 6 жыл бұрын

Multimedia = multiple media = multiple mediums. "Media" is just the correct Latinate way of pluralizing "medium", rather than Anglicizing it to "mediums". (In general, any word ending in "-ums" is an incorrect, Anglicized pluralization of a Latin word).

@dstinnettmusic 6 жыл бұрын

Pfhorrest so using simply math, your equations equate to Multiple multiple media, (or multiple squared media, whichever you feel is most simplified)

@Pfhorrest 6 жыл бұрын

No, you don't need to repeat "multiple". You can have one medium, or multiple "mediums", which is more correctly put as multiple media, because "mediums" is a weird mutant word. "Multimedia" is just short for multiple media.

@Amber-ml6et 6 жыл бұрын

Yes! While today we think of it as kind of an escape from “the media” it’s actually a huuuge part of promoting and sharing media. When you talk to someone they often interject their thought with that they read, heard, or saw. Even before the age of technology, if someone who was a part of a religious group spoke to someone not a part of it, they could be using their beliefs to influence that person. And media is all about the promotion, exchange, and effect of knowledge. When you tell someone a quote from a book you read because it fits into your conversation, even if it’s not about that particular book. You are influencing their thoughts and the conversation with your person decided media. Hope that helps.

well a herald did just that in the time before most people could read. a herald would go out from town to town to bring news of important stuff. they were mostly paid by the king or other important figure to do so and would be wearing the coat of arms of the king or other person of significant influence in the area on his/her (mostly his) shirt.

I wouldn't call propaganda a part of the ''dark side'' of media because per se. In order to be informed on the political views and plans of political institutions they need to be able to spread media.
