IC4ML believes in:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Media literacy is the ability to access, analyze, evaluate, create and participate thoughtfully and actively with media and within media cultures in a more equitable, humane, ecologically resilient, and just world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Our definition of media literacy is based on the following key concepts:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Media comprise global infrastructures with material impacts (environmental and human) while also producing sensory experience and constructions of reality with unique forms and conventions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Media express ideologies and values, but are also the source of pleasure and emotional substance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Media can be interpreted as being embedded with economic, social, and political significance that contribute to the shaping of our societies and cultures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Individuals and groups negotiate the meaning of media based on multiple factors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
