The Evolution of Media Literacy: From English Class to Everyday Essential In an era where information flows incessantly and media influence pervades every aspect of life, media literacy has emerged as a critical skill for navigating the complex landscape of modern communication. Once confined to the realms of English class, media literacy now demands attention as a standalone discipline.
