Media literacy

"Media Literacy helps students develop a strong knowledge base about the media. Potter presents a guidebook to the often difficult terrain of the media world, providing a plan of action for students to develop their media literacy and analytical skills. He shows how becoming media literate gives students a clearer perspective on the borders between their own world and the simulated media world. Throughout the book, he encourages students to apply the exercises to their own experiences, thus developing useful skills beyond mere rote learning." "Media Literacy, Third Edition will enhance the media skills of undergraduate and graduate students studying Media Literacy, Media Content, Media Effects, and Mass Media Communication."--Jacket.
