		<description><![CDATA[Media literacy is the ability to analyze and evaluate the media to which we are exposed; it is a complex subject.

		<description><![CDATA[&#8220;Media literacy is an expanded conceptualization of literacy. By transforming the process of media consumption into an active and critical process, people gain greater awareness of the potential for misrepresentation and manipulation, and understand the role of mass media and participatory media in constructing views of reality.&#8221; (Source: Wikipedia)
