Media Monitors will conduct a Media Literacy Campaign, which aims to promote critical thinking, empower individuals, and foster responsible consumption of media content. This campaign will focus on four thematic areas: Inclusivity, Information Disorders, Diversity in the media landscape, understanding the importance of journalism and Fact Checking. By creating engaging animation, podcasts, social media posts, and infographics, we aim to raise awareness and provide practical tools to navigate the complexities of the media landscape.
Inclusivity
The purpose of conducting a media literacy campaign on media inclusivity is to promote greater understanding and awareness of the importance of diversity, representation, and inclusivity in media. Media has a powerful influence on shaping public opinion, attitudes, and beliefs. Therefore, it is crucial to ensure that media content and platforms reflect and represent the diversity of society accurately and inclusively.
Information Disorders

Information disorders refer to the spread of false or misleading information that can harm individuals, communities, and societies. A media literacy campaign on information disorders aims to equip individuals with the skills and knowledge to critically evaluate and navigate the information they encounter, thereby mitigating the negative impact of misinformation.
