Measuring adults’ media literacy skills and news media literacy knowledge in the context of age, gender, and education level
Full text linkIn this study, we examine the relationships between self-reported media literacy skills, actual knowledge of news media literacy, and three sociodemographic factors: age, gender, and level of education. Data were collected through an online survey among a national sample of adults (n = 871) in Latvia. A significant positive correlation was found between all self-reported media literacy subscales and the knowledge subscales of news media literacy. Age was moderately negatively related to self-reported media literacy skills and weakly negatively related to news media literacy knowledge. The level of education was weakly positively correlated with both media literacy skills and news media knowledge. Gender does not significantly predict either news media literacy or media literacy. Relatively low levels of knowledge were found concerning the three dimensions explored: media industries, media content production, and media effects
Assessing the impact of media and information literacy on creative video content production
Full text linkThis study explores the impact of Media and Information Literacy (MIL) on developing creative video production skills among undergraduate students at Al al-Bayt University, Jordan. The sample consisted of 60 students divided into an experimental group (MIL course) and a control group (Educational Foundations course). Using a quasi-experimental design, students’ video production skills were evaluated using a rubric covering nine key criteria, weighted based on expert input. Results showed that the experimental group significantly outperformed the control group in creative video production, highlighting MIL’s role in enhancing these skills. Notably, both groups emphasized content integrity similarly, while the MIL group focused less on language accuracy. The study concludes that integrating MIL into curricula can enhance students’ video production skills and better assess creativity in their work. These findings underscore the value of MIL in education, particularly in fostering creative digital skills
Occupying All Sides of the Desk: A Feminist Methodological Approach to Teaching, Research, and Mentoring
Full text linkThis article focuses on a curriculum research collaboration among students (high school, undergraduate and graduate) and faculty to create college-level courses that focus on feminist media studies. As a reflection and extension of our work, we tell our polyvocal story of this collaboration while arguing that this work is a feminist methodology that could be used in pedagogical and other academic and public contexts
Battle cry to “Do the research”: Vulnerability to QAnon, Alt Media, and low news media literacy
Full text linkThis survey (N = 579) investigated news media literacy among those likely to believe in the conspiracy theories of QAnon. Vulnerability to belief in QAnon conspiracies was predicted by a media diet of alternative media such as 4chan and SnapChat. Those vulnerable to QAnon conspiracy theories had lower news media literacy scores than those who appeared to be resistant to QAnon theories, and rated themselves with lower need for cognition and higher cynicism. Vulnerability to QAnon was predicted by a belief in other specific conspiracy theories, low value of news media literacy, less understanding of the news business, belief in a biased media, increased cynicism, and identifying as a Republican
