Media Literacy

My media literacy began at a very early age. My parents have always been aware of what is going on in the news and with the media. They have always told me to be leery of what I was seeing on television because it may be an exaggeration of the truth, and I have seen that all the more as I have grown older and found these things on my own. My parents are definitely conservative so we were mainly watching Fox News instead of CNN, and that has carried into my life. That is what I watch because I think it is what I was taught and that is what I learned.
I did not have anything in school to teach me about the media. It was all in the home.
