Media Literacy
The definition of media literacy has evolved over time to encompass the range of experiences that occur in social media or other digital spaces. Currently, media literacy includes being able to understand, apply, and share digital images and messages. Educators teach media literacy skills because of the vulnerable relationship that young adults have with social media. Some examples of media literacy practices, particularly on Twitter, include using hashtags, live tweeting, and sharing information. I would remove this portion of the article has it does not add a ton of value since it only provides an example about one social media site.

Add:

Media literacy is a concept and practice necessary to help citizens be informed and empowered in a world increasingly populated with diverse media and messages.
