Summary

Part of our “Take a Look! 21st Century Media Literacy” series, “What's the Point?” examines the author's purpose always present in media, how to spot it, and how to use it intentionally to inform, persuade, and entertain. Series closely aligned with standards from the American Association of School Librarians and the Journalism Education Association. This series gives readers a crash course in basic media literacy skills: understanding audience, perspective, persuasive appeals, author's purpose, tracing sources, and creating media content.
