Info Lit, Media Lit, What the Lit???

UNESCO's Media and Information Literacy Curriculum and Competency Framework is very interesting and more than thinking that they blend together I think they go hand in hand. For us to be able to use and understand media literacy we have to have previous information literacy skills.  We need to read, listen, watch and inform ourselves not from one source but from many. We cannot expect that all media can positively direct information to all of us in the same way, and for us to be able to interprete all of the information that is constantly given to us through mass communication, we need to have info lit foundations.

I do think that information literacy skills have to be acquired at an early age, so they become a habit, to analyze and evaluate information before using it or even believing it.
