The Millennium School in Amritsar hosted a session aimed at educating students from Grade 9-12 about the crucial role of media in their lives. Led by the esteemed Ms. Asmita, founder of "Via News Didi," the session focused on enhancing students' media literacy skills to navigate the complex media landscape responsibly.
Ms. Asmita's insightful session provided students with practical tools to critically analyze and evaluate media content. Through a method she referred to as the "Sieve," students were equipped to filter out genuine and factually accurate media from the plethora of sources they encounter daily. Emphasizing the subjectivity of media in today's sensitive times, the session encouraged students to approach media consumption with a discerning eye. The event underscored the importance of using media literately as a tool for public influence. By understanding the potential impact of media on individuals and society, students were urged to become active and engaged consumers, contributing positively to their communities.
The initiative taken by the Millennium School reflects a commitment towards fostering media literacy among students, equipping them with the essential skills and empower the next generation in making informed decisions in an increasingly interconnected world.
