| description | The mass media are important agents of socialization in that they reproduce dominant (and other)
social norms, beliefs, discourses, ideologies and values. Although media are said to be an educator,
most of the transmission of norms, beliefs, ideologies, discourses and values happen in an unconscious
fashion. (Deverux, E. 2003: p10). In essence, the media select and process facts for us. Because they
do so systematically, they necessarily affect the way we interpret what they are saying. As well as
informing us, the media also shape us. In order to understand fully how the process works, we need to
become literate in the various languages of the media. Media literacy means more than just responding
to media messages. It also means understanding how they work, how they differ from personal
experience and how they differ from each other. It means learning about their dominant style and being
able, when necessary, to use them (Hart, A. 1991. pg 8-9) |
