Hi, this is Gary. I’m currently live in California and I’m a student of Arizona State University. This blog is part of my MCO 426 course, and I will use it to share my thoughts about media literacy and the role digital media plays in everyday life.

Last semester, I completed MCO 425: Digital Media Literacy I. In that course, I learned how media messages are created, influence the way people receive information, and why topics like bias, misinformation and credibility are important. Now I’m taking MCO 426, I hope to build more on what I learned before and get more understanding on media in today’s world. We are living in a world of media now, so I think it is important to think critically about it. I am not an expert, but I am interested in this topic and willing to learn through this blog.
