With the rise of technology, our world has become more interconnected than ever before. As a result, information has become easily accessible for everyone. This information, while valuable, also poses certain challenges. Global Media and Information Literacy Week, celebrated annually, provides an opportunity to reflect on the importance of honing our information literacy skills.
Media and Information Literacy (MIL) is not limited to reading and writing only. It involves the capacity to analyze, assess, and generate information across all types of media in a critically informed manner. It also enables individuals to navigate the complex information landscape with confidence.
These books on media and information literacy will enhance your critical thinking skills and knowledge.

It is a handy mnemonic used in information and media literacy to evaluate the quality and credibility of sources, particularly when conducting research or assessing information.
We hope these suggested resources will empower you to be more media-savvy.
