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!

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.

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).

Pfhorrest so using simply math, your equations equate to Multiple multiple media, (or multiple squared media, whichever you feel is most simplified)
@Pfhorrest6 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-ml6et6 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.
