In recent years, our information consumption has transformed drastically, with media serving as a crucial educational tool for people. Children today are much more exposed to media information than a few decades ago. High school students spend over one-third of their day on media. More than half of the world is now online.
Around 65% of the global population is using the internet today and a whooping 60% of them are social media users that are connected to each other across geographical, political, or economic borders.
In today's dynamic digital landscape, where information flows freely, and media messages shape our perceptions, staying informed isn't just a choice – it's a necessity.
