Continuing with Media Literacy week, today's term is "analyze."

It's important to do your own research, to examining content on a deeper level, so you know whether what you're reading or whether what you're watching is credible or not.

This includes fact checking across multiple sources by looking for evidence-based facts and avoiding authors that show signs of bias.

The National Association for Media Literacy Education says to use these key questions when analyzing media:

• Who made this?
• Can they be trusted to tell the truth?
• What are the cited sources and who is the information attributed to?
• Who paid for this?
• When was it made?
• What does this tell me about the topic?
• Is there enough context?
• Is there anything left out that may be important to know?

With endless news outlets and information out there, check to see if they're all accurate and balanced in their reporting.

Experts encourage you to dissect every detail with a critical eye.

When in doubt, find another source that's verifiable, reputable and well respected.

Stay with ABC57 news for continued coverage of media literacy week, all week long.

Tomorrow's theme is "evaluate," which takes an even deeper dive into credibility and drawing conclusions backed by facts.
