Literacy is the ability to read and write. Media and information literacy (MIL) is the ability to understand how the media work and can be used to participate in public debate. MIL includes social media like Facebook, as well as traditional media like books, newspapers, radio and television.

Media and information literacy - A practical guidebook for trainers provides MIL trainers with background information, training ideas, methods and worksheets. The book also provides sample training schedules to help you determine the length of time needed to teach individual aspects of media and information literacy.

Download the Media and information literacy guidebook for trainers as well as the worksheets and guidelines.

DW Akademie defines MIL as a composite of five core competencies:

  • Access: The ability to find and access relevant media and information sources.
  • Analyze: The ability to evaluate the credibility, accuracy and objectivity of media content, for example a news story.
  • Create: The ability to create and produce media and information content, such as photos, texts, or videos.
  • Reflect: The ability to think critically about media habits, experiences, trends, and technologies, and how they impact individuals and society.
  • Act: The ability to use media to achieve specific goals, for example launching a social media campaign about health.
