@YouthMedia479 I like that media literacy allows individuals to construct their own meanings from media messages, making each message unique

@YouthMedia479 Children think they need a product in order to feel happy and stay connected. This mindset can continue into adulthood.

@YouthMedia479 My experiences have allowed me to be media literate and understand what is real vs a scam, and new forms of technology easily

[Kimberly Olson @kimberlyjolson]

@YouthMedia479 I think it tells a story of what each generation went through and how those experiences allow them to understand the world.

[Kimberly Olson @kimberlyjolson]

@YouthMedia479 Experiences can be recalled when processing media to help better understand the message, what is plausible and probable.

[Kimberly Olson @kimberlyjolson]

@YouthMedia479 Yes, especially the finding that showed that heavy media users are more likely to get in trouble, be unhappy, sad or bored.

[Kimberly Olson @kimberlyjolson]

@YouthMedia479 I think that daily media usage has increased, younger individuals now have cell phones, online media is more popular/advanced

@YouthMedia479 @ChannelOneNews Pros: gain media-literacy, engage in current topics. Cons: commercialization, students recall ads over news.

[Kimberly Olson @kimberlyjolson]

@YouthMedia479 I thought the news seemed informative and interesting but the ads were distracting. In my opinion, not much has changed.

[Kimberly Olson @kimberlyjolson]

@YouthMedia479 Students can take away media-literacy, info on current world issues and the content seen in the program's advertisements.
