That definition was used by the growing field for more than 20 years (and in fact, some people still define media literacy that way). However, some media literacy experts began to part of media literacy (access, understanding, awareness, an*lysis, evaluation, creation, reflection, participation) plus the desire to develop these skills and to take action based on them. While that felt thorough at the time, the list was really too unwieldy to describe easily, it left out inquiry which is seminal to the Project Look Sharp approach, and it didn't place the capabilities in a progression. I saw as the key elements (inquiry and reflection) involved in all aspects of media literacy, and viewing access as the prerequisite and action as the outcome, I sketched out the process graphic shown above and the official graphic was created by Eric Poandl. © Copyright Project Look Sharp, Ithaca College.
