Strategies for Critical Media Consumption

Question the source - Who created this content and why? Look for evidence - Are claims backed by research? Consider the motive - Is someone trying to sell you something? Seek multiple perspectives - Don't rely on just one source Reflect on impact - How does this make you feel about yourself?

Remember

You have the power to choose how media influences your wellbeing. Be an active, critical consumer, not a passive receiver.
