Media Literacy Questions

The Center for Media Literacy explores five key questions that educators can use to promote media literacy in the home, school and across our communities. The Center also offers guidance on how to further explore each of these five questions.

The five key questions are:

1. Who created this message?

2. What creative techniques are used to attract my attention?

3. How might different people understand this message differently from me?

4. What lifestyles, values and points of view are represented in, or omitted from, this message?

5. Why is this message being sent?
